    Degrees
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the degree of twist in a shaft between points C and D, with the user having already completed several related tasks. They have calculated bending, shear, and torsional stresses but are struggling to find a realistic answer for the twist, which should be a small value. The user provides an elastic modulus of 81,300 N/mm² and references a formula for torsional deflection. They seek assistance in verifying their calculations and understanding the correct application of the formula. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in the calculations to achieve accurate results.

Hi!
I need help with a task. I have done previous calculations on the shaft, but I'm stuck now, as I'm going to find out how many degrees the shaft is twisting from point C to D. I have calculated bending/shear stress, torsion stress and the last stress that i don't know in english, but the formula is like this:

So I am wondering if anyone has done this before?

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Can you post a diagram of the shaft and how it is being held and torqued? Use the UPLOAD button in the lower right of the Edit window to attach a PDF or JPEG file to your reply. Thanks.
 
Thank you! :)

The picture of the shaft with belt transmission is showed in task 6.1 The describtion is in norwegian, as I'm from Norway. I have done task a) b) c) and d). Now, task e) says: How many degrees will the shaft twist between point C and D? Elastic modul is given 81.300 N/mm^2.

Please see the other picture with the equation marked in red: I think that is the correct formula to use, but I can't seem to get a realistic answer.. The answer should me 0,... something but I get 58.8.

Do you know about theta=T*L/(J*G)?

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
