    This document contains 8 problems related to calculating stresses and angles of twist in shafts and other cylindrical components under torsion loads. The problems apply the torsion formula and calculate maximum shear stresses, shaft diameters, power transmission capabilities, and relative angles of twist. Materials properties like shear modulus are provided to solve for stresses and sizes required to not exceed allowable stresses under different torque loads and transmission conditions.

    TUTORIAL 3

    MEC411

    1. What is the minimum diameter of a solid steel shaft that will not twist through more
    than 3o in a 6 m length when subjected to a torque of 14 kN.m? What maximum
    shearing stress is developed? Use G = 83 GPa.
    d = 118 mm, τ = 43.4 MPa

    2. A solid steel shaft of 5 m long is stressed to 60 MPa when twisted through 4o. Using
    G = 83 GPa, compute the shaft diameter. What power can be transmitted by the shaft
    at 20 rps.
    d = 104 mm, P = 1.67 MW

    3. A steel marine propeller is to transmit 4.5 MW at 3 rps without exceeding a shearing


    stress of 50 MPa or twisting through more than 1o in a length of 25 meters. Compute
    the proper diameter if G = 83 GPa.

    4. A steel shaft with a constant diameter of 60 mm is loaded by torques applied to gears


    attached to it as shown in Figure T3.4. Using G = 83 GPa, determine the relative
    angle of twist of gear D relative to gear A.

    5. The tube shown in Figure T3.5 is subjected to a torque of 600 N.m. Determine the
    amount of this torque that is resisted by the shaded section. Solve the problem two
    ways; (a) by using the torsion formula; (b) by finding the resultant of the shear-stress
    distribution.

    6. The coupling is used to connect the two shafts together. Assuming that the shear
    stress in the bolts is uniform, determine the number of bolts necessary to make the
    maximum shear stress in the shaft equal to the shear stress in the bolts. Each bolt has
    a diameter d.

    7. The assembly consists of two sections of steel pipe connected together using a
    reducing coupling at B as shown in Figure T3.7. The smaller pipe has an outer
    diameter of 15 mm and inner diameter of 13 mm, whereas the larger pipe has an outer
    diameter of 20 mm and inner diameter of 17 mm. If the pipe is tightly secured to the
    wall at C, determine the maximum shear stress developed in each section of the pipe
    when the couple shown is applied to the handles of the wrench.

    8. A shaft composed of segments AC (steel), CD (aluminium) and DB (bronze) is


    fastened to rigid supports and loaded as shown in Figure T3.7. For steel G=83 GPa,
    for aluminium G = 28 GPa and for bronze G = 35 GPa. Determine the maximum
    shearing stress developed in each segment.
