3-1 INTRODUCTION AND ASSUMPTIONS
3.3 FLANGED BOLT COUPLINGS
COUPLING
Is a mechanical element which connects the shaft which is in two halves. It
is used to connect segments of circular shafts to make a long shaft since
long rigid shafts cannot be easily transported
FLANGED BOLT COUPLING
Is commonly used between connection of two shafts. It consist of flanges
rigidly attached to the ends of the shafts and bolted together.
T = maximum torque capacity of the flange bolt coupling
P = maximum shear load that each load can carry
n = number of bolts
R = is the radius of the bolt circle

P = is the product of the area of the bolts and the allowable


shearing stress of the bolt
Sample Problem:
1.A flanged bolt coupling consist
of eight steel 25mm diameter
bolts spaced evenly around a
bolt circle300 mm diameter in
diameter. Determine the torque
capacity of the coupling if the
allowable shearing stress in the
bolts is 50 MPa.

Ans: 29045 kn.m


2. A flanged bolt coupling
consists of eight 12-mm
diameter steel bolts on a bolt
circle 400 mm in diameter,
and six 12-mmdiameter steel
bolts on a concentric bolt
circle 300 mm in diameter, as
shown. What torque can be
applied without exceeding a
shearing stress of 50 MPa in
the bolts?
Ans: 12.86 kn.m
3. A plate is fastened to a
fixed member by four 20-
mm diameter rivets arranged
as shown in Fig. P-333.
Compute the maximum and
minimum shearing stress
developed.

Ans: Max = 20.25 MPa


Min = 6.68
MPa
3-4 TORSION OF THIN WALLED TUBES: SHEAR FLOW
SHEAR FORCE
– Defined as the shear force per unit edge length of the middle surface.

The average shearing stress across any thickness t is.


Angle of Twist
Sample Problem:
1.A torque T = 750 N-m is applied to
hollow shaft shown that has a
uniform 8-mm wall thickness.
Neglecting the effect of stress
concentrations, determine the
shearing stress at points a and b.
determine the angle of twist per
meter in degrees if G=80 GPa.
Ans: τ=18.67 MPa
3-5 HELICAL SPRING
A helical spring is essentially an elastic
coil, and you will often find them
referred to as coil springs. They are
formed by tightly winding a piece of
wire into a cylinder, and the nature of
their design allows them to absorb,
maintain or eject force or energy between
two surfaces.
The maximum shearing stress is the sum of the
direct shearing stress τ1 = P/A and the torsional
shearing stress τ2 = Tr/J, with T = PR.
