    The document contains an assignment on torsion theory with 10 questions. It asks students to define terms related to torsion such as torsional rigidity, polar moment of inertia, torsional moment. It also contains questions calculating maximum stress, torque, shear stress, and diameter of solid and hollow shafts given power transmitted, rpm, maximum stress allowable, and other parameters. Students are asked to determine shaft dimensions so stress does not exceed specified values and twist does not exceed 1 degree per meter length.

    ES 201 THEORY OF STRUCTURES III

    ASSIGNMENT 2_1

    (Module 1: Torsion)
    Date of Submission: 12-10-2018 before 9:35 AM

    Maximum Marks: 10.00

    1. What do you mean by strength of a shaft?


    2. Explain simple torsion theory
    3. Define the following terms with neat sketches

    a) Torsional rigidity
    b) Polar moment of Inertia
    c) Torsion / Twisting moment
    d) Simple Torsion

    4. A hollow shaft of external diameter 120mm transmits 300 kW power at 200 rpm. Determine the
    maximum internal diameter if the maximum stress in the shaft is not to exceed 60 N/mm2
    5. In a hollow circular shaft of outer and inner diameters of 20cm and 10cm respectively, the shear
    stress is not to exceed 40 N/mm2. Find the maximum torque which the shaft can safely transmit.
    (December 2017, Third semester B-Arch Degree Examination)
    6. Find the maximum shear stress induced in a solid circular shaft of diameter 15cm when the
    shafts transmits 150kW power at 180 rpm
    7. A hollow circular shaft of outer and inner diameter of 20 cm and 10 cm respectively, the shear
    stress is not to exceed 40 N/mm2, find the maximum torque which the shaft can safely transmits.
    8. A solid circular shaft is to transmit 300 kW at 100 rpm. If the shear stress is not to exceed 80
    N/mm2, find the diameter of the shafts. What percentage in saving would be obtained if this shaft
    is replaced by a hollow one, whose internal diameter is equal to 0.8 of the external diameter?
    (length of the material and the allowable maximum shear stress being the same.)
    9. A solid circular shaft is to be designed to transmit 22.5kW power at 200 rpm. If the maximum
    shear stress is not to be exceeded by 80 N/mm2and the angle of twist is not to be exceeded by 1°
    per meter length, determine the diameter of the shaft. Take modulus of rigidity as 80 kN/mm2
    10. Determine the diameter of a solid steel shaft in a rolling mill which will transmits 300 kW of
    power at 250 rpm. The maximum shear stress should not exceed 30 MPa and angle of twist
    should not be more than 1° in a shaft length of 2m. Use modulus of rigidity of 1X105 N/mm2
