4. The composite shaft shown consists of a 5mm-thick brass jacket (Gbrass= 39 GPa) bonded
to a 40-mm-diameter steel core (Gbrass= 77.2
GPa). Knowing that the shaft is subjected to a
600 Nm torque, determine (a) the maximum
shearing stress in the brass jacket, (b) the
maximum shearing stress in the steel core, (c)
the angle of twist of B relative to A.

8. The design of a machine element calls for a 40mm-outer-diameter shaft to transmit 45 kW. (a) If
the speed of rotation is 720 rpm, determine the
maximum shearing stress in shaft a. (b) If the
speed of rotation can be increased 50% to 1080
rpm, determine the largest inner diameter of shaft
b for which the maximum shearing stress will be
the same in each shaft.
