The document contains 8 engineering problems related to determining stresses and torques in compound shafts made of different materials such as steel, aluminum, and bronze. The problems involve calculating maximum shear stresses, angles of twist, and diameters needed to limit stresses to permissible values when torques are applied to stepped shafts attached to rigid supports or gears.

The document contains 8 engineering problems related to determining stresses and torques in compound shafts made of different materials such as steel, aluminum, and bronze. The problems involve calculating maximum shear stresses, angles of twist, and diameters needed to limit stresses to permissible values when torques are applied to stepped shafts attached to rigid supports or gears.
3. The steel shaft is formed by attaching a hollow shaft to a
solid shaft. Determine the maximum torque T that can be applied to the ends of the shaft without exceeding a shear stress of 70 MPa or an angle of twist of 2.5˚ in the 3.5-m length. Use G = 83 GPa for steel. 4. The solid compound shaft, made of three different materials, carries the two torques shown. (a) Calculate the maximum shear stress in each material. (b) Find the angle of rotation of the free end of the shaft. The shear moduli are 28 GPa for aluminum, 83 GPa for steel, and 35 GPa for bronze. 5. The shaft carries a total torque T0 that is uniformly distributed over its length L. Determine the angle of twist of the shaft in terms of T0, L, G, and J. 6. The ends of the compound shaft are attached to rigid walls. The maximum shear stress is limited to 10 000 psi for the bronze segment AB and 14 000 psi for the steel segment BC. Determine the diameter of each segment so that each material is simultaneously stressed to its permissible limit when the torque T = 16 kip · ft is applied as shown. The shear moduli are 6 x 106 psi for bronze and 12 x 106 psi for steel. 7. The stepped solid steel shaft ABC is attached to rigid supports at each end. Determine the diameter of segment BC for which the maximum shear stress in both segments will be equal when the torque T is applied at B. Note that the lengths of both segments are given and the diameter of segment AB is 60 mm. 8. The four rigid gears, loaded as shown in the figure are attached to a 2-in.-diameter steel shaft. Compute the angle of rotation of gear A relative to gear D. Use G = 12 x 106 psi for the shaft.
