ENGR 476 Mechanics of Materials II Assignment 3 Due On Monday, Feb. 3, 2014, Before Class Starts

1. Shafts A and B have the same cross-sectional area but different shapes. Shaft A is circular while Shaft B is square. The ratio of the maximum safe torques they can withstand is equal to the ratio of their section moduli. 2. A steel member is given. Using the section modulus, shear stress formula, and allowable shear stress, the maximum safe torque and corresponding angle of twist are calculated. 3. The shearing stresses at two points on a hollow shaft under a given torque are calculated by relating stress to torque and polar section modulus. 4. For a hollow cooling tube under torque: (a) the maximum shear stress is found using torque and polar section

. Shafts A and B are made of the same material and have the same cross sectional area, but A has a circular cross section and B has a square cross section. Determine the ratio of the maximum torques TA and TB that can be safely applied to A and B, respectively.

2. A 4-m-long steel member has a W310 60 cross section. Knowing that G = 77.2 GPa and that the allowable shearing stress is 40 MPa, determine (a) the largest torque T that can be applied, (b) the corresponding angle of twist. Refer to Appendix C for the dimensions of the cross section and neglect the effect of stress concentrations. (Hint: consider the web and flanges separately and obtain a relation between the torques exerted on the web and a flange, respectively, by expressing that the resulting angles of twist are equal.)

3. A 90-N m torque is applied to a hollow shaft having the cross section shown. Neglecting the effect of stress concentrations, determine the shearing stress at points a and b.

4. A cooling tube having the cross section shown is formed from a sheet of stainless steel of 3mm thickness. The radii c1 = 150 mm and c2 = 100 mm are measured to the center line of the sheet metal. Knowing that a torque of magnitude T = 3 kN m is applied to the tube, determine (a) the maximum shearing stress in the tube, (b) the magnitude of the torque carried by the outer circular shell. Neglect the dimension of the small opening where the outer and inner shells are connected.
