The aluminum alloy [G= 4,000 ksi] pipe shown in Figure P6.48 is fixed to the wall support at C. The bolt holes in the flange at A were supposed to align with mating holes in the wall support; however, an angular misalignment of 4° was found to exist. To connect the pipe to its supports, a temporary installation torque T'B must be applied at B to align flange A with the mating holes in the wall support. The outside diameter of the pipe is 5.5625 in. and its wall thickness is 0.258 in. The segment lengths are L₁ = 16 ft and L₂ = 24 ft. ム L2 (1) B E FIGURE P6.48 (a) Determine the temporary installation torque TB that must be applied at B to align the bolt holes at A. (b) Determine the maximum shear stress Tinitial in the pipe after the bolts are connected and the temporary installation torque at B is removed. (c) Determine the magnitude of the maximum shear stress in segments (1) and (2) if an external torque TB = 150 kip. in. is applied at B after the bolts are connected.
