Solid Circular Section Hollow Circular Section: Non-Uniform Shear Stress Distribution
Torsion generates non-uniform shear stress distribution over the section, hence
torsional formula (torsional shear stress, shearing deformation, power transmitting) are
driven based on:

Problem:
3. A compound shaft consisting of a steel segment and an aluminum segment is acted upon
by two torques as shown in figure in below. Determine the maximum permissible value
of T subject to the following conditions: τst = 83 MPa, τal = 55 MPa, and the angle of
rotation of the free end is limited to 6°. For steel, G = 83 GPa and for aluminum, G = 28
GPa.

4. A hollow bronze shaft of 3 in. outer diameter and 2 in. inner diameter is slipped
over a solid steel shaft 2 in. in diameter and of the same length as the hollow
shaft. The two shafts are then fastened rigidly together at their ends. For bronze,
G = 6 × 106 psi, and for steel, G = 12 × 106 psi. What torque can be applied to
the composite shaft without exceeding a shearing stress of 8000 psi in the bronze
or 12 ksi in the steel?

5. A shaft composed of segments AC, CD, and DB is fastened to rigid supports and
loaded as shown in figure below. For bronze, G = 35 GPa; aluminum, G = 28
GPa, and for steel, G = 83
GPa. Determine the
maximum shearing stress
developed in each segment.

6. Six 7/8-in-diameter rivets fasten the plate in Fig. P-334 to the fixed member.
Using the results of Prob. 332, determine the average shearing stress caused in
each rivet by the 14 kip loads. What additional loads P can be applied before the
shearing stress in any rivet exceeds 8000 psi?
