QUESTION 1

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.
QUESTION 2
Under normal operating conditions, the electric motor exerts a torque of
2.8 kN . m on shaft AB. Knowing that each shaft is solid, determine the

maximum shearing stress in (1.1) shaft AB, (1.2) shaft BC, (1.3) shaft CD.

QUESTION 3
The solid shaft shown is formed of a brass for which the
allowable shearing stress is 55MPa. Neglecting the effect of
stress concentrations, determine the smallest diameter d and AB

d for which the allowable shearing stress is not exceeded

BC
Question 4
The aluminium rod AB (G=27GPa ) is bonded to the brass rod BD
(G=39GPa). Knowing that portion CD of the brass rod is hollow and

has an inner diameter of 40 mm, determine the angle of twist at

A

QUESTION 5

The electric motor exerts a torque of 800 N . m on the steel shaft ABCD
when it is rotating at constant speed. Design specifications require that
the diameter of the shaft be uniform from A to D and that the angle of
twist between A to D not exceed 1.5 ° . Knowing that τ max ≤60 MPa∧G=77 GPa,
determine the minimum diameter shaft that can be used.
