Question: A shaft with a length L = 2 . 0 m is subjected to torques T = 5 . 1 0 k N m at

A shaft with a length L=2.0m is subjected to torques T=5.10kNm at either end. (See
Fig. Q4). Segment AB(L1=1.0(m)) is made of brass (Gb=41.3GPa) and has a square cross
section (a=75mm). Segment BC(L2=1.0(m)) is made of steel (Gs=74.3GPa) and has a
circular cross section (d=75mm). Ignore stress concentrations near B.
(a) Find the maximum shear stress and angle of twist for each segment of the shaft.
(b) Find a new value for the dimension a of bar AB, if the maximum shear stress in
AB and BC are to be equal.
(c) Repeat part (b) if the angles of twist of segments AB and BC are to be equal.
(d) If dimension a is reset to a=75mm and bar BC is now a hollow pipe with an
outer diameter d2=a, find the inner diameter d1 such that the angles of twist of
segments AB and BC are equal.
