    The document discusses the analysis of a circular shaft subjected to torque, outlining the assumptions of homogeneity, isotropy, and elastic behavior. It explains the relationship between shear stress and shear strain, demonstrating that shear stress varies with radial distance from the center. The document further details the conditions for the material and the behavior of the shaft under twisting, emphasizing the proportionality of shear stress to shear strain according to Hooke's law.

    Question 9

    Solution (i)
    Assumptions:
    • The material of the shaft is homogeneous and
    isotropic.
    • The shaft is loaded within its elastic limit.
    • The twist is uniform along the length of the shaft.
    • The cross-sections of the shaft remain plane during
    twisting.
    Cont....
    • Consider a circular shaft of radius R subjected to a
    torque T. Let's analyze a cross-section of the shaft.
    Cont...
    • Due to the torque, the shaft twists, and a radial line
    on the cross-section rotates through an angle θ.
    • The deformation of a small element at a distance r
    from the center is proportional to r and θ
    • γ = rθ/L
    • where L is the length of the shaft.
    Cont....

    • Within the elastic limit, shear stress (τ) is


    proportional to shear strain (γ) (Hooke's law)
    • τ = Gγ
    • where G is the shear modulus of the material.
    • Substituting the expression for shear strain:
    • τ = G(rθ/L)
    • From the above equation, it is clear that the shear
    stress (τ) is directly proportional to the radial
    distance (r) from the center of the shaft.
    Cont....
    • At the center (r = 0), the shear stress is zero.
    • At the surface (r = R), the shear stress is maximum.
    Solution(ii)
    • The material is homogeneous (elastic property
    throughout)
    • The material should follow Hooke’s law
    • The material should have shear stress proportional to
    shear strain
    • The cross-sectional area should be plane
    • The circular section should be circular
    • Every diameter of the material should rotate through
    the same angle
    • The stress of the material should not exceed the elastic
    limit
    Cont...

    • Consider a solid circular shaft with radius R that is


    subjected to a torque T at one end and the other end
    under the same torque.
    Cont....
    Angle in radius =arc/radius
    Arc AB = RӨ = Lγ
    Where, A and B: two fixed points on the circular shaft
    y=RӨ/L............(i)
    Where y is the shear strain or angle subtended by AB
    From, C=τ/y
    y=τ/C
    From (i) above
    Therefore, τ/C=RӨ/L
    Cont....
    Consider a small strip of radius with thickness dr that is
    subjected to shear stress.

    Where,
    r: radius of small strip
    dr: thickness of the strip
    γ: shear stress
