Question 3
A circular beam, which is built into a wall, is subjected to an axial force P and a torque T as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3: Circular beam with axial force and torque
(i) Consider the face where the shaft is built into the wall at B. Make a sketch of an infinitessimal
element of material at B, at beam's outer diameter at the 12 o'clock position, with one face
parallel to the wall. Clearly indicate the direction of any non-zero stresses acting on this element.
Is this element in a state of plane stress? If so, what is the plane? (Make a clearly labelled sketch
showing your choice of axes).
(ii) Let P=120kN and T=2kNm. Calculate the stresses due to P and T at B, and hence
calculate the maximum shear stress at B.
