TORSION ( Flanged Boult Couplings, Hellical Spring, Thin Walled Tube)

1. A flanged bolt coupling consists of eight 10-mm-diameter steel bolts on a bolt

circle 400 mm in diameter, and six 10-mm-diameter steel bolts on a concentric
bolt circle 300 mm in diameter, as shown in Fig. 3-7. What torque can be
applied without exceeding a shearing stress of 60 MPa in the bolts?

P1 = Aτ = π(102)/4(60)

P1 = 1500πN

P1/R1 = P2/R2

1500π/200 = P2/150

P2 = 1125πN

T = P1R1n1+P2R2n2

T = 1500π(200)(8)+1125π(150)(6)

T = 3412,500πN⋅mm

T = 3.4125πkN⋅m = 10.72kN⋅mT
2. A rigid bar, pinned at O, is supported by two identical springs as shown in Fig.
P-348. Each spring consists of 20 turns of 3/4-in-diameter wire having a mean
diameter of 6 in. Determine the maximum load W that may be supported if the
shearing stress in the springs is limited to 20 ksi. Use Eq. (3-9).

Tmax = 16PR/πd3(1+d/4R) → Equation (3-9)

20000 = 16P(3) ÷ π(3/4) 3[1+3/4 ÷ 4(3)]
P = 519.75 lb

δ1/2 = δ2/4
δ1 = 1/2δ2
64P1R3n/Gd4 = ½ (64P2R3n/Gd4 )
P1 = ½P2 = ½(519.75)
P1 = 259.875 lb

ΣMO = 0
7W = 2P1+4P2
7W = 2(259.875)+4(519.75)
W=371.25 lb
3. A tube 0.10 in. thick has an elliptical shape shown in Fig. P-338. What torque
will cause a shearing stress of 8000 psi?

T = 2Atτ

A = πab = π(3)(1.5) = 4.5πin2

T = 0.10in
Τ = 8000psi

T = 2(4.5Ï€)(0.10)(8000)
T = 22619.47lb⋅in
T = 22.62 kip⋅in
