such as gears, pulleys etc. as well as the weight of the shaft itself
• The permissible shear stress maybe taken as 30% of the elastic limit in
tension but not more than 18% of the ultimate tensile strength
In other words
Shafts Subjected to Twisting Moment Only
• When the shaft is subjected to twisting moment (or torque) only then
the diameter of the shaft may be obtained by the torsion equation
