Torsional Strength of Hollow Shafts

The document provides examples solving problems related to determining the torsional strength and maximum torque of hollow and compound circular shafts. It calculates strength based on the inner and outer diameters, material properties like shear stress limits and modulus of rigidity, and constraints on twist angle. Solutions are provided for shafts made of steel and aluminum under different loading conditions.

Example-1 Show that the hollow circular shaft whose inner diameter is half the outer diameter

has a torsional strength equal to 15/16 of that of a solid shaft of the same outside diameter.

Solution

Example-2 Determine the maximum torque that can be applied to a hollow circular steel shaft of
100-mm outside diameter and an 80-mm inside diameter without exceeding a shearing stress of
60 MPa or a twist of 0.5 deg/m. Use G = 83 GPa.

Solution

1
Example-3 A compound shaft consisting of a steel segment and an aluminum segment is acted
upon by two torques as shown in Fig. P-316. Determine the maximum permissible value of T
subject to the following conditions: st = 83 MPa, al = 55 MPa, and the angle of rotation of the
free end is limited to 6. For steel, G = 83 GPa and for aluminum, G = 28 GPa.

Solution

2
Example-4 A solid steel shaft is loaded as shown in Fig. P-322. Using G = 83 GPa, determine
the required diameter of the shaft if the shearing stress is limited to 60 MPa and the angle of
rotation at the free end is not to exceed 4 deg.
