Solid circular section Hollow circular section

Shaft under torsion

Torsion generates non-uniform shear stress distribution over the section, hence
torsional formula (torsional shear stress, shearing deformation, power transmitting) are
driven based on:

(1) Equation of compatibility


(2) Equation of equilibrium
(3) Satisfying boundary condition

Assumptions:

(i) Circular section remain circular


(ii) Plane sections remain plane

(iii) Transverse section remains straight


(iv) Shaft is loaded by twisting
(v) Stresses do not exceed the proportional limit

Eq. 3 denotes the equation of compatibility as stress is associated with its elastic deformation

Shearing stress at any internal point/fiber is determined by product of a constant and


the radial distance from center of that fiber.

Problem:

1. 30 kW power is transmitted by a shaft at 10 rad/sec. Determine the diameter of


shaft if the shearing stress does not exceed 40 MP and the angle of twist is limited
to 6o in a length of 3 m. Use G = 85 GPa.

2. An aluminum shaft with a constant diameter of 50 mm is loaded by torques


applied to gears attached to it as shown in figure below. Using G = 28 GPa,
determine the relative angle of twist of gear D relative to gear A.

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?

loaded as shown in figure below. For bronze, G = 35 GPa; aluminum, G = 28
GPa, and for steel, G = 83
GPa. Determine the
