1. Describe with the aid of a well labeled stress-strain curve the behavior of a ductile material such
as annealed mild steel when under a pure tensile loading.

2. With the aid of sketches, show that for a solid circular shaft,

T Gθ τ
= =
J L r

Where: J is the second polar moment of area

G is the modulus of rigidity

θ is the angle of twist

r is the radius

L is the length of the shaft.

3.(a) Design a solid steel shaft to transmit a 18000 Nm torque with the following constraints: G= 85
GPa, the shear stress τ is not to exceed 60 MPa and the angle of twist per unit length θ/l is not
to exceed 0.40/m

(i) Determine the radius of the shaft using the shear strength criterion

(ii) Determine the radius of the shaft using the stiffness criterion

(c) If the shaft is required to be hollow and the outer radius is restricted to 80 mm,

(i) Determine the inner radius of the shaft using the shear strength criterion

(ii) Determine the inner radius of the shaft using the stiffness criterion

(d) Based on the finding on the appropriate shaft radius obtained in (b) and (c) above, calculate the
percentage savings in weight when the hollow shaft is used.
