Solution

edit

Step One:

edit

Using the elastic torsion formula, which relates the shearing stress to the torque and properties of the rod, solve for  , the radius of the rod.

 

(3.6-1)

Where   for a cylindrical rod can be expressed as

edit

Problem Statement

edit
 
Figure for 3.7

Given

edit

The solid steel spindle AB has an allowable shearing stress of 12 ksi and the brass sleeve CD has an allowable shearing stress of 7 ksi.

Determine

Step One:

edit

The torque exerted on the shaft is calculated by

 

(3.7-1)

where   is the maximum shearing stress allowable,   is the polar moment of inertia of the cross section of a cylinder with respect to its center, and   is the radius of the shaft.

To determine the largest torque that can be applied at A without exceeding the allowable shearing stress of sleeve CD implies that the value for   in Eq. (3.7-1) will be the 7 ksi corresponding to the maximum shearing stress allowable for sleeve CD. One can see that since   is what sets the limit for the largest torque that can be applied at A which is equivalent to the largest torque exerted by the shaft on the sleeve, we then calculate the variables from Eq. (3.7-1) with respect to the sleeve CD.

Step Two:

edit

First, calculate the outer diameter of the sleeve CD, which is identified as   and given by,


 

(3.7-2)


 


Then take   to be the inner diameter for CD, which is calculated by


 

(3.7-3)

 


with t, being the thickness of the sleeve.


The subsequent step is to calculate , the polar moment of inertia of sleeve CD, which for a hollow circular shaft with an inner and outer radius is calculated by

 

(3.7-4)

 


Substituting these values into Eq (3.3-1) yields the largest torque that can be applied at A

 

(3.7-1)


 
 

Step Three:

edit

To calculate the diameter of the solid steel spindle AB simple rearrangements of Eqs. (3.7-1) and (3.7-2) will yield a solution.

 

(3.7-1)

 

 

Substituting the values for  = 19.213 kip•in,  = 12 ksi, yields

 


Once again, rearranging Eq (3.7-2)will ultimately give the solution wanted, which is the diameter of spindle AB.

Diameter of the shaft BC,  
Acting torque at A,  
Acting torque at B,  

Solution

edit

Step One: Determine maximum shearing stress in shaft AB:

edit

To solve the problem, the radius for shaft AB and BC must be found. To calculate, divide the given diameter's by 2.

 

(3.8-1)

For shaft AB acting torque is  
Therefore, the maximum sheer stress for shaft AB can be given by

 

(3.8-2)

Substituting the cross sectional area for J

 

(3.8-3)

Simplifying the equation, we get

 

(3.8-4)

Now, insert the values

 

(3.8-5)

The torque in shaft AB is,

 

(3.8-6)

Step Two: Determine maximum shearing stress in shaft BC

edit

For shaft BC acting torque

 

(3.8-7)

 

(3.8-)

 

(3.8-9)

Therefore, the maximum sheer stress for shaft BC can be given by

 

(3.8-10)

The equations then simplifies similarly to equation 3.9-5

 

(3.8-11)

Now, insert the values

 

(3.8-11)

 

(3.8-12)

Because the shear stress is highest in part AB (56.68MPa is greater than 36.62 MPa), this will be the limiting value used to calculate the minimum allowable diameter for member BC in Step Three.

Step Three: Solve for the minimum allowable diameter of BC

edit

The radius of CB can be determined by manipulating the maximum torque equation as shown,

 

(3.8-13)

This mean that the minimum diameter is
