SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the angular twist of a shaft between points C and D, specifically using the formula θ = T*L/(J*G). The user has already calculated bending, shear, and torsion stresses but is struggling to obtain a realistic answer for the twist, which should be a small value. The elastic modulus provided is 81,300 N/mm², and the user references a resource from Engineers Edge for additional guidance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torsional mechanics and shaft design
  • Familiarity with the concepts of bending and shear stress
  • Knowledge of material properties, specifically elastic modulus
  • Ability to interpret engineering diagrams and equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the calculation of torsional deflection using the formula θ = T*L/(J*G)
  • Study the properties of materials, focusing on elastic modulus and its impact on shaft performance
  • Examine engineering diagrams to understand shaft support and torque application
  • Explore additional resources on torsional mechanics, such as textbooks or online courses
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, students studying mechanics, and professionals involved in shaft design and analysis will benefit from this discussion.

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)?
