Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 10P
A Segway ®5 Personal Transporter (PT) (Figure Pl .3) is a two-wheeled vehicle in which the human operator stands vertically on a platform. As the driver leans left, right, forward, or backward, a set of sensitive gyroscopic- sensors sense the desired input. These signals are fed to a computer that amplifies them and commands motors to propel the vehicle in the desired direction. One very important feature of the PT is its safety: The system will maintain its vertical position within a specified angle despite road disturbances, such as uphills and downhills or even if the operator over-leans in any direction. Draw a functional block diagram of the PT system that keep The System in a vertical position. Indicate the input and output signals, intermediate signals, and many subsystems. (http://segway.com)

Question 1. Draw 3 teeth for the following pinion and gear respectively. The teeth
should be drawn near the pressure line so that the teeth from the pinion should
mesh those of the gear. Drawing scale (1:1). Either a precise hand drawing or
CAD drawing is acceptable. Draw all the trajectories of the involute lines and the
circles.
Specification: 18tooth pinion and 30tooth gear. Diameter pitch=P=6 teeth /inch.
Pressure angle:20°, 1/P for addendum (a) and 1.25/P for dedendum (b). For fillet,
c=b-a.
5. The figure shows a gear train. There is no friction at the bearings except for the gear tooth forces.
The material of the milled gears is steel having a Brinell hardness of 170. The input shaft speed (n2)
is 800 rpm. The face width and the contact angle for all gears are 1 in and 20° respectively. In this
gear set, the endurance limit (Se) is 15 kpsi and nd (design factor) is 2.
(a) Find the revolution speed of gear 5.
(b) Determine whether each gear satisfies the design factor of 2.0 for bending fatigue.
(c) Determine whether each gear satisfies the design factor of 2.0 for surface fatigue (contact stress).
(d) According to the computation results of the questions (b) and (c), explain the possible failure
mechanisms for each gear.

- 1. The rotating steel shaft is simply supported by bearings at points of B and C, and is driven by a spur gear at D, which has a 6-in pitch diameter. The force F from the drive gear acts at a pressure angle of 20°. The shaft transmits a torque to point A of TA =3000 lbĘ in. The shaft is machined from steel with Sy=60kpsi and Sut=80 kpsi. (1) Draw a shear force diagram and a bending moment diagram by F. According to your analysis, where is the point of interest to evaluate the safety factor among A, B, C, and D? Describe the reason.
