hello all, i am trying to solve for outside diameter on a hollow shaft where the inside diameter is 1.25"
the hollow shaft is the same material as a solid shaft which is 1" in diameter. Since both are the same materials and all I'm trying to do is duplicate the amount of torque and stresses that the solid shaft is able to handle what formulas and/or thumbrules would you consider best for using, thanks!
p.s. an example would be a car drive shaft, the output shaft from the gear box is solid and 1" but the drive shaft is hollow and 4" with a wall thickness of about 0.1".
