Calculate Torsional Shear Stress: Step-by-Step Guide

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating torsional shear stress in circular shafts using the formula T/J = t/r = GΘ/L. Key parameters include a length (L) of 0.33 m, a radius (r) of 0.025 m, and a diameter (D) of 0.5 m. The user seeks guidance on determining maximum shear stress, maximum shear strain, and the angle of twist between two pulleys under a load of 2500 N. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these calculations for engineering applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torsion in circular shafts
  • Familiarity with shear stress and shear strain concepts
  • Knowledge of angular deflection calculations
  • Basic proficiency in mechanics of materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Calculate maximum shear stress using T/J = t/r
  • Determine maximum shear strain from the calculated shear stress
  • Compute the angle of twist between the two pulleys
  • Explore the effects of varying load conditions on shear stress
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, students studying mechanics of materials, and professionals involved in structural analysis will benefit from this discussion on calculating torsional shear stress.

I require some help please.

I know :

Rule: T/J = t/r = GΘ/L

L = length = 0.33
r = radius = 0.025
D = diameter = 0.5


The starting points and stages would help. I have to hand this in next wednesday, i thought i would ask the community.

Determine the distribution of shear and angular deflection due to torsion in a circular shafts.

1-Calculate the maximum shear stress produced in the shaft due to torsion.
2- Calculate the maximum shear strain
3-Calculate the angle of twist between the two pulleys.

F1 (N) 2500
F2(N) 2500
A (m) 0.1
B (m) 0.15
C (m) 0.08
D (m) 0.05
P (kw) 2
N (rev/min) 300

Thanks.
