Understanding Torsion Angle in Practical Applications

AI Thread Summary
Torsion angle in practical applications can be complex, especially when dealing with multiple shafts that are supported at both ends. In scenarios where a motor is coupled with a lengthy shaft, the torsion angle (theta) may not be easily visualized due to the support along the shaft's length. When calculating torque in such systems, using the net torque is recommended for accuracy. Additionally, when multiple shafts are connected by rigid couplings, the total length of the shafts can be considered for calculations. Understanding these principles is crucial for effective application in engineering contexts.

Dear all,

I need clarification regarding torsion angle.
In textbook torsion angle is explaining that one end is rigidly fixed another end is giving load.In this we can visualize theta where as practical application motor coupled with line(transmitting lengthy shaft)shaft i cannot visualize theta becoz in this while transmitting load line shaft is properly supported at the ends& in between since rotatoinal free at both ends will it theta available?

Note:
our layout is shaft is coupled to one together in between load is transmitted
No of shafts -25,shaft(one shaft) length-1m,In between torque is transmitted

if we used standard formula will that is accepted one? also more than

25 shaft are copuled together and it joining by rigid couplings can we

take Length as total length?


Thanks for the replies

use the net torque.

the example where one end of the loaded shaft is fixed is equivalent to a free end with a reaction torque (moment).

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
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 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
