Chapter 02 (Part 2)

Flanged bolt couplings transmit torque through shearing forces in the bolts. The torque capacity depends on factors like the number and arrangement of bolts, their material properties, and diameters. Shear stresses in bolts can be calculated using equations that relate stress to torque load, bolt geometry, and material shear modulus. Example problems demonstrate calculating torque capacity and shear stresses in bolt couplings and similar fastened connections.

FLANGED BOLT COUPLINGS

In shaft connection called flanged bolt couplings (See figure),


the torque is transmitted by the shearing force P created in
the bolts that is assumed to be uniformly distributed. For any
number of bolts n, the torque capacity of the couplings is

If coupling has two concentric rows of bolts, the torque


capacity is

where the subscript 1 refer to bolts on the outer circle and


subscript 2 refer to bolts on the inner circle. See figure.

For rigid flanges, the shear deformations in the bolts are pro-
portional to their radial distances from the shaft axis. The
shearing strains are related by

Using Hooke s law for shear, , we have

If the bolts on the circles have the same area, A1 = A2, and if
the bolts are made of the same material, G1 = G2, the relation
between P1 and P2 reduces to
EXAMPLE PROBLEMS
Problem 1
A flanged bolt coupling consists of ten 20-mm-diameter
bolts spaced evenly around a bolt circle 400 mm in diameter.
Determine the torque capacity of the coupling if the allowable
shearing stress in the bolts is 40 MPa.

Problem 2
A plate is fastened to a fixed member by four 20-mm-di-
ameter rivets arranged as shown in Figure. Compute the maxi-
mum and minimum shearing stress developed.
HELICAL SPRINGS
When close-coiled helical spring, composed of a wire of round
rod of diameter d wound into a helix of mean radius R with n
number of turns, is subjected to an axial load P produces the
following stresses and elongation:
HELICAL SPRINGS
Problem 1
Determine the maximum shearing stress and elongation
in a helical steel spring composed of 20 turns of 20-mm-diame-
ter wire on a mean radius of 90 mm when the spring is support-
ing a load of 1.5 kN. G = 83 GPa.
Problem 2
Compute the maximum shearing stress developed in a
phosphor bronze spring having mean diameter of 200 mm and
consisting of 24 turns of 20-mm diameter wire when the spring
is stretched 100 mm. Use Eq. (3-10) and G = 42 GPa.
Problem 3
Two steel springs arranged in series as shown in Fig.
P-347 supports a load P. The upper spring has 12 turns of
25-mm-diameter wire on a mean radius of 100 mm. The lower
spring consists of 10 turns of 20-mm diameter wire on a mean
radius of 75 mm. If the maximum shearing stress in either
spring must not exceed 200 MPa, compute the maximum value
of P and the total elongation of the assembly. Use Eq. (3-10)
and G = 83 GPa. Compute the equivalent spring constant by di-
viding the load by the total elongation.
Problem 4
A rigid bar, hinged at one end, is supported by two identical
springs as shown in Fig. P-349. Each spring consists of 20 turns
of 10-mm wire having a mean diameter of 150 mm. Compute the
maximum shearing stress in the springs, using Eq. (3-9). Ne-
glect the mass of the rigid bar.

7. The plate shown in Fig. P-335 is fastened to the fixed mem-
ber by five 10-mm-diameter rivets. Compute the value of the
loads P so that the average shearing stress in any rivet does
not exceed 70 MPa. Answer: P=8686.8 N

8. Six 7/8-in-diameter rivets fasten the plate in Fig. P-334


to the fixed member. 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 ex-
ceeds 8000 psi?
9. As shown in Fig. P-350, a homogeneous 50-kg rigid block
is suspended by the three springs whose lower ends were
originally at the same level. Each steel spring has 24 turns of
10-mm-diameter on a mean diameter of 100 mm, and G = 83
GPa. The bronze spring has 48 turns of 20-mm-diameter wire
on a mean diameter of 150 mm, and G = 42 GPa.

10. A rigid bar, pinned at O, is supported by two identical


springs as shown in Fig. P-348. Each spring consists of 20 turns
of 3/4-in-diameter wire having a mean diameter of 6 in. Deter-
mine the maximum load W that may be supported if the shear-
ing stress in the springs is limited to 20 ksi.
