MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Torsional Loads on Circular Shafts • Interested in stresses and strains of circular shafts subjected to twisting couples or torques • Turbine exerts torque T on the shaft • Shaft transmits the torque to the generator • Generator creates an equal and opposite torque T’

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Net Torque Due to Internal Stresses • Net of the internal shearing stresses is an internal torque, equal and opposite to the applied torque, T dF dA
• Although the net torque due to the shearing stresses is known, the distribution of the stresses is not • Distribution of shearing stresses is statically indeterminate – must consider shaft deformations • Unlike the normal stress due to axial loads, the distribution of shearing stresses due to torsional loads can not be assumed uniform.

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Axial Shear Components • Torque applied to shaft produces shearing stresses on the faces perpendicular to the axis. • Conditions of equilibrium require the existence of equal stresses on the faces of the two planes containing the axis of the shaft • The existence of the axial shear components is demonstrated by considering a shaft made up of axial slats.
The slats slide with respect to each other when equal and opposite torques are applied to the ends of the shaft.

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Shaft Deformations • From observation, the angle of twist of the shaft is proportional to the applied torque and to the shaft length. T L
• When subjected to torsion, every cross-section of a circular shaft remains plane and undistorted. • Cross-sections for hollow and solid circular shafts remain plain and undistorted because a circular shaft is axisymmetric. • Cross-sections of noncircular (nonaxisymmetric) shafts are distorted when subjected to torsion.

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Shearing Strain • Consider an interior section of the shaft. As a torsional load is applied, an element on the interior cylinder deforms into a rhombus. • Since the ends of the element remain planar, the shear strain is equal to angle of twist. • It follows that L or

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Normal Stresses • Elements with faces parallel and perpendicular to the shaft axis are subjected to shear stresses only. Normal stresses, shearing stresses or a combination of both may be found for other orientations. • Consider an element at 45o to the shaft axis, F 2 max A0 cos 45 max A0 2

• Element a is in pure shear. • Element c is subjected to a tensile stress on two faces and compressive stress on the other two. • Note that all stresses for elements a and c have the same magnitude GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Torsional Failure Modes • Ductile materials generally fail in shear. Brittle materials are weaker in tension than shear. • When subjected to torsion, a ductile specimen breaks along a plane of maximum shear, i.e., a plane perpendicular to the shaft axis. • When subjected to torsion, a brittle specimen breaks along planes perpendicular to the direction in which tension is a maximum, i.e., along surfaces at 45o to the shaft axis.

Shaft BC is hollow with inner and outer diameters of 90 mm and 120 mm, respectively. Shafts AB and CD are solid of diameter d. For the loading shown, determine (a) the minimum and maximum shearing stress in shaft BC, (b) the required diameter d of shafts AB and CD if the allowable shearing stress in these shafts is 65 MPa.
