Two solid steel shafts (G = 77.2 GPa) are connected to a coupling disk B and to fixed supports at A and C. Take T = 1.3 kN·m. Determine the maximum shearing stress in shaft BC. (Round the final answer to one decimal place.) The maximum shearing stress in shaft BC is 56 MPa.

Shearing stress is a stress that acts coplanar to the surface. The maximum shearing stress on the BC part of the shaft is 25.37 MPa.

It the defined as the ratio of the force to the cross-sectional area where the force is applied.

Given here,

= 273.374 Nm

= 19 mm

=

Put the values in the equation,

Therefore, the maximum shearing stress on the BC part of the shaft is 25.37 MPa.

τ (bc. max) =25.37 MPa

Explanation:

From the question, T = 1.3Kn.m;

(G = 77.2 GPa) and from the image of this solid shaft system i attached;

d(ab) = 50mm; d(bc) = 38mm; L(ab) =0.2m and L(bc) = 0.25m

So ΣT = 0 → Ta + Tc = 1.3Kn.m

So the system is statically indeterminate.

Let's check at the equation that makes it compatible ;

ψ = 0 and ψ(c/b) + ψ(b/a) + ψ(a) = 0

[{T(bc)} / {J(bc)G}] + [{T(ab)} / {J(ab)G}] + 0 =

ΣT = 0 and T(bc) = T(c)

ΣT = 0 and T(ab) = T(c) - 1.3 Kn.m

Now,

[(T(c) x 250mm)/{(π/2)(19^4)}] + [{((T(c) - 1300000 Nmm) x 200mm}/{(π/2)(25^4)}] = 0

So, T(c) = 273374 Nmm = 273.374Nm

T(a) = 1300Nm - 273.374Nm = 1026. 63Nm

From the beginning we saw that;

T(bc) = T(c) = 273.374Nm

Now let's find the maximum shear stress in shaft BC;

τ (bc. max) = {τ (bc) x r(bc)} / J(bc)

τ (bc. max) = (273374Nmm x 19mm)/ {(π/2)(19^4)} = 5194106 / 204707

= 25.37 MPa
