Shaft: Shafts are structural members with
length significantly greater than the largest
cross sectional dimensional used in
transmitting torque from one plane to
another plane.

Shafts in series and in parallel:
a)When two shafts are connected so as to remain continuous in
length wise, they are said to be in series.

Q. A compound shaft is made of two materials, on the left is 1 m
length of steel, 90 mm diameter, and on the right is 0.8 m
length of aluminium, 60 mm diameter. The shaft is fixed at the
left end and a torque of 1 kNm is applied at the right end as
shown in fig. Determine the additional torque that can be
applied at B without exceeding the permissible stress in steel
of 90 MPa. Also work out the nature and magnitude of a
torque T to be applied at B so that the angle of twist at C with
respect to A is zero. The modulus of rigidity is 85 GPa for
steel and 30 GPa for aluminium.
