Mechanics of Solids

1. A hollow cylindrical steel shaft is 1.5 m long and has inner and outer diameters
respectively equal to 40 and 60 mm as shown in fig. (a) What is the largest torque that
can be applied to the shaft if the shearing stress is not to exceed 120 MPa? (b) What is
the corresponding minimum value of the shearing stress in the shaft?

2. For previous problem i) What torque should be applied to the end of the shaft to produce
a twist of 2O ? Use the value G =77 GPa for the modulus of rigidity of steel. ii) What
angle of twist will create a shearing stress of 70 MPa on the inner surface of the hollow
steel shaft
3. A solid steel bar of circular cross section has diameter 40 mm, length 1.4 m, and shear
modulus of elasticity 80 GPa. The bar is subjected to torques T acting at the ends. (a) If
the torques have magnitude 1000 Nm, what is the maximum shear stress in the bar?
What is the angle of twist between the ends? (b) If the allowable shear stress is 40 MPa
and the allowable angle of twist is 2.5°, what is the maximum permissible torque?
4. The pipe shown in fig. has an inner diameter of 80 mm and an outer diameter of 100
mm. If its end is tightened against the support at ‘A’ using a torque wrench at ‘B’ ,
determine the shear stress developed in the material at the inner and outer walls along
the central portion of the pipe when the 80 N forces are applied to the wrench.

5. The solid steel shaft AC has a diameter of 25 mm and is supported by smooth bearings
at D and E. It is coupled to a motor at C, which delivers 3 kW of power to the shaft
while it is turning at 50 rps. If gears A and B remove 1 kW and 2 kW, respectively,
determine the maximum shear stress developed in the shaft within regions AB and BC.
The shaft is free to turn in its support bearings D and E.

6. The allowable stress is 50 MPa in the brass rod AB and 25 MPa in the aluminium rod
BC. Knowing that a torque of magnitude T =1250 Nm is applied at point A, determine
the required diameter of (a) rod AB, (b) rod BC.

7. The solid rod AB has a diameter 60 mm and is made of a steel for which the allowable
shearing stress is 85 MPa. The pipe CD, which has an outer diameter of 90 mm and a
wall thickness of 6 mm, is made of an aluminium for which the allowable shearing
stress is 54 MPa. Determine the largest torque ‘T’ that can be applied at point A.

8. A solid steel shaft ABCDE as shown in fig. having diameter of 30 mm turns freely in
bearings at points A and E. The shaft is driven by a gear at C, which applies a torque
T2= 450 Nm in the direction shown in the figure. Gears at B and D are driven by the
shaft and have resisting torques T1= 275 Nm and T3 =175 Nm, respectively, acting in
the opposite direction to the torque T2. Segments BC and CD have lengths LBC = 500
mm and LCD = 400 mm, respectively, and the shear modulus G=80 GPa. Determine the
maximum shear stress in each part of the shaft and the angle of twist between gears B
and D.
9. Figure shows a stepped steel shaft, It is subjected to a torque ‘T’ at the free end and a
torque ‘2T’ in the opposite direction at the junction of the two sizes. Determine the total
angle of twist if the maximum shear stress is limited to 80 MPa. Take G = 80 GPa.

10. The aluminium rod AB (G= 27 GPa) is bonded to the brass rod BD (G = 39 GPa).
Knowing that portion CD of the brass rod is hollow and has an inner diameter of 40
mm, determine the angle of twist at A.
