Problem Set 3

Transverse Shear and Torsional Stress

Directions: Answer the following problems and present a logical solution. Write legibly using
engineering lettering (upper case/lower case will do) on a letter sized bond paper with 1
inch invisible margin on all sides. Write your names on all sheets. Rewrite the problem. You
may not redraw the figure if you can present a logical solution without it, After finishing the
problem set, scan the sheets or take photos and send a copy to your class representative.
The file name of each problem set for each student should be as follows: Surname_SR
Code_PSet3. No other file names will be accepted. The class representative should then
compile an-d zip/archive the files and send to the class representatives’ group. Deadline of
submission is on 18-October-2020 at 12 noon. Once you have submitted to your class
representative, click the “Mark as Done” button on our google classroom for this activity. Do
not attempt to falsely click the “mark as done” button while not having to submit yet or does
not intend to do the work. I can track your submissions. Do not attempt to submit others work
as your own, rules agreed on course orientation will apply.

1.0 The solid shaft of radius r is subjected to a torque T. Determine the radius r’ of the
inner core of the shaft that resists one-quarter of the applied torque (T/4). Solve the
problem two ways: (a) by using the torsion formula, (b) by finding the resultant of
the shear-stress distribution.

2.0 The copper pipe has an outer diameter of 2.50 in. and an inner diameter of 2.30 in.
If it is tightly secured to the wall at C and three torques are applied to it as shown,
determine the shear stress developed at points A and B. These points lie on the
pipe’s outer surface. Sketch the shear stress on volume elements located at A and
B.

3.0 The solid shaft is fixed to the support at C and subjected to the torsional loadings
shown. Determine the shear stress at points A and B on the surface, and sketch
the shear stress on volume elements located at these points.

4.0 The shaft consists of rod segments AB and CD , and the tubular segment BC . If the
torque T = 10 kN m is applied to the shaft, determine the required minimum
diameter of the rod and the maximum inner diameter of the tube. The outer
diameter of the tube is 120 mm, and the material has an allowable shear stress of 75
MPa.

5.0 The solid steel shaft AC has a diameter of 25 mm and is supported by smooth
bearings at D and E. It is coupled to a motor at C, which delivers 3 kW of power to
the shaft while it is turning at 50 If gears A and B remove 1 kW and 2 kW,
respectively, determine the maximum shear stress developed in the shaft within
regions AB and BC. The shaft is free to turn in its support bearings D and E.

6.0 The solid 30-mm-diameter shaft is used to transmit the torques applied to the gears.
Determine the absolute maximum shear stress on the shaft.

7.0 The 80-mm diameter shaft is made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and subjected to the
torsional loading shown. Determine the angle of twist at end A.

8.0 The A992 steel posts are “drilled” at constant angular speed into the soil using the
rotary installer. If the post has an inner diameter of 200 mm and an outer diameter
of 225 mm, determine the relative angle of twist of end A of the post with respect to
end B when the post reaches the depth indicated. Due to soil friction, assume the
torque along the post varies linearly as shown, and a concentrated torque of 80 kN
m acts at the bit.

9.0 The shaft is supported by a smooth thrust bearing at A and a smooth journal
bearing at B . If the shaft is made from a material having an allowable shear stress
of 75 MPa, determine the maximum value for P.

10.0 The overhang beam is subjected to the uniform distributed load having an
intensity of w = 50 kN m. Determine the maximum shear stress developed in the
beam.
