Circular Shaft and Maximum Moment
Circular Shaft and Maximum Moment
The shear
stress varies from zero in the axis to a maximum at the outside surface of the shaft.
The shear stress in a solid circular shaft in a given position can be expressed as:
σ = T r / Ip (1)
where
r = distance from center to stressed surface in the given position (mm, in)
where
where
θ = L T / Ip G (5)
where
θ = 32 L T / (G π D4) (5a)
The angle in degrees can be achieved by multiplying the angle θ in radians with 180/π
