AI Thread Summary
In analyzing a bar fixed at one end with a hollow section transitioning to a solid section, static equilibrium can indeed be applied to determine the reaction torque, similar to a bar with varying diameters. The approach involves segmenting the bar and utilizing torsion formulas to assess shear stress and angle of twist. By creating free-body diagrams for each segment, the torque on the uniform part of the composite beam can be calculated, allowing for the determination of shear stress in the hollow section. This method effectively addresses the complexities introduced by the differing geometries of the shaft. Overall, the principles of mechanics remain consistent regardless of the shaft's configuration.

When dealing with a bar (fixed on one end), if it is hollow for a certain length from the edge and then turns solid up until the fixed point, can the condition of static equilibrium be used to find the reaction torque, just like you would of a bar with 2 different diameters.
(Assuming all this is of the same material and a torque is provided only on the non fixed end right at the edge)

To me it seems like the same method can be used for this, dividing the bar into segments to use pure torsion formulas and find the variation of shear stress and angle of twist.

Sure, you can split up any object and make free-body diagrams of the components. From the free-body diagrams, you can find (for example) the torque on a uniform part of the composite beam and thus the shear stress in the thin wall.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
