1. What is the purpose of making the torsion test?

2. Is the hook’s law for shearing stress and strain valid?

3. What are the failure modes of ductile and brittle materials when
they are subjected to pure shear?

4. Steel shaft of 100 mm diameter and 0.6 m long, transmits a mechanical power
P of 74 kW at a rotational speed n of 150 rpm. Calculate the transmitted
torque in Nm, the maximum shear stress and the shear stress at a point located
at 30 mm radius in MPa. Also calculate the maximum twisting angle ꝋmax
that induced in the whole shaft. The modulus of rigidity G for the steel from
which the shaft is made is 80 GPa.

5. Steel shaft of 100 mm diameter and 20 m long, subjected to a pure twisting


moment. The shaft is driven at one-end whiles the power is taken off at the
other end at a rotational speed of 180 rpm. One end of the shaft moves the
maximum twisting angle of 30° in advance of the other end. Calculate the
maximum shear stress, and the transmitted power. Take the steel modulus of
rigidity as 80 GPa.
