CE 203- structural Mechanics I Lecture # 22-24 Torsion-noncircular sections
Solid Noncircular shafts Unlike deformation in shafts with circular cross-sections, other cross sections will bulge or warp when the shafts is twisted resulting in complex distribution of stress
See handout for other sections • Rectangle • Thin rectangle • Sections composed of narrow rectangles
Compare the values of max shear stress and angle of twist Developed in the shaft having circular and square x-section. Each shaft has an area of 9 sq. in., length = 36 in. Take T = 4000 lb.in, G =11x106 psi
Assumptions Small thickness End torque only Cross-section does not vary with length No slit Result constant shear flow q =t shear stress It can be shown using statics ie Σ T = 0 That :
Average shear and twist q = T/2 Am Hence τavg = T/2 Am t And φ = T L/(4 Am2 G) ∫ ds/t Where Am is the mean area enclosed by centerline of thickness
Shaft design (sec. 11.4 partly) • If we know the allowable shear stress and the internal torque diagram, we must be able to determine the minimum diameter required • Use basic torsion formula
