Hint: For internal torques, we obey the same sign convention as for axially loaded members. However, when calculating the torsional shear stress, we instead consider the absolute value of the shear stress. Therefore, you should calculate positive quantities for all torsional shear stresses.
Take T_(A)=400lb*in, T_(B)=1200lb*in, T_(C)=500lb*in.
Take d=0.15 in and d_(hole )=0.3in.
Problem 3(Provided Problem)
Consider a solid circular shaft A-D with a varied diameter between the gears: d_(AB),d_(BC), and d_(CD). The shaft is fixed to a rigid wall at D and three external torques are applied to each gear at A,B,
and C. The torques are applied in the senses shown below. a) Draw the Torsion Moment diagram for the structure and find the maximum shear stress in each segment of the shaft. Then, determine which segment has the overall maximum shear stress in the shaft. Finally, plot a cross-sectional shear stress distribution at the section where the maximum shear stress in the shaft occurs. b) Reconsider the structure shown above after creating a drill hole with diameter d_(hole) through the entire length (from A to D) of the shaft. The shaft diameters d_(AB), d_(BC), and d_(CD) remain the same, as do the maximum and minimum shear stress in each segment of the shaft. Then, determine which segment has the overall maximum shear stress in the shaft as well as which segment has the overall minimum shear stress in the shaft. Finally, plot a cross-sectional shear stress distribution at the section where the maximum shear stress in the shaft occurs.
Here are the questions I need answered:
1. Find the internal torque in segment AB (lb*in).
