I must correct myself, I have seen how to solve for statically indeterminate shafts but it was a single cylinder with a single torque applied to the center. The two torques is confusing me.
when i try to make my second static equation, I am not sure how to take into account both torques applied.
Ok i understand by using the sum of the moment across the x plane Ta + Td = 2.5 kN.m. What's confusing me is if i break it into separate sections AB, BC and CD, or just AB and CD to find the reactions at A and D.
also, the total angle of the shaft is zero since both ends are restrained... so...
Homework Statement
A stepped solid shaft of circular cross section is rigidly clamped at ends A and D and loaded by twisting moments T1= 1kN.m and T2 = 1.5kN.m at points B and C. The material is steel for which G = 84x10^9 N/m^2, the length L of the shaft is 500mm, and the diameters of AB and...
