SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the angle between the maximum principal stress and the shaft axis for a shaft with a diameter of 0.2m, subjected to a torque of 150 KNm and a compressive axial thrust of 520KN. The participant successfully determined the shear stress as 95.5 MPa, the direct stress as -16.55 MPa, and the principal stresses as σ1=87.21 MPa and σ2=-103.765 MPa. Additionally, the participant aimed to draw Mohr's Circle to validate these results.
