Inelastic Torsion of Cylindrical Shafts

1) The document discusses inelastic torsion of straight cylindrical shafts and describes a problem involving a composite torsion bar made of an aluminum core surrounded by steel. 2) It provides idealized shear stress-strain diagrams for steel and aluminum and shows the equations used to calculate the torque required for the aluminum to just begin yielding. 3) The calculation determines that the elastic torque in the aluminum is 3,436,000 N*mm and defines the equations needed to calculate the plastic torque in the steel.

Worksheet:

A composite torsion bar is made of an aluminum core surrounding by


steel. The aluminum and steel are perfectly bonded together. A torque,
T, is applied at a magnitude where the aluminum just begins to yield.
