Torsion

Consider a bar to be rigidly attached at one end and


twisted at the other end by a torque or twisting
moment T equivalent to F × d, which is applied
perpendicular to the axis of the bar, as shown in the
figure. Such a bar is said to be in torsion.
TORSIONAL SHEARING STRESS, τ
For a solid or hollow circular shaft subject to a
twisting moment T, the torsional shearing stress τ at
a distance ρ from the center of the shaft is

Where:
J is the polar moment of inertia
of the section and
r is the outer radius.
For solid cylindrical shaft:

For hollow cylindrical shaft:


ANGLE OF TWIST
The angle θ through which the bar length L will
twist is :

Where:
T is the torque in N·mm,
L is the length of shaft in
mm,
G is shear modulus in MPa,
J is the polar moment of
inertia in mm4,
D and d are diameter in
mm, and
POWER TRANSMITTED BY THE SHAFT
A shaft rotating with a constant angular velocity ω
(in radians per second) is being acted by a twisting
moment T. The power transmitted by the shaft is:

Where:
T is the torque in N·m,
f is the number of
revolutions per second, and
P is the power in watts.
PROBLEMS
1) An aluminum shaft with a constant diameter of 50
mm is loaded by torques applied to gears attached to
it as shown in Fig. P-311. Using G = 28 GPa,
determine the relative angle of twist of gear D
relative to gear A.
Solution:
2.) A compound shaft consisting of a steel segment and an
aluminum segment is acted upon by two τst torques asτalshown
in Fig. P-316. Determine the maximum permissible value of
T subject to the following conditions: ≤ 83 MPa, ≤ 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:

Based on maximum shearing stress τmax = 16T / 3:

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.
