a solid steel shaft 3 m long is transmitting 12 mw at 400 rev/min. the working conditions to be satisfied by the shaft are: • the shaft must not twist more than 0.015 radian on a length of 10 times the diameter, i.e., 10d • the maximum shear stress must not exceed 70 mn/m2.

Respuesta :

The diameter d of shaft is 0.319m

The actual maximum shear stress of the shaft is 44.95N/m^2

The angle of twist of the 3-m length shaft is 0.01409 rad

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A solid steel shaft 3 m long is transmitting 12 MW at 400 rev/min. The working conditions

to be satisfied by the shaft are:

• The shaft must not twist more than 0.015 radian on a length of 10 times the diameter, i.e., 10D

• The maximum shear stress must not exceed 70 MN/m2.

If the modulus of rigidity of steel is 60 GN/m2 determine:

(a) The diameter of the shaft required

(b) The actual maximum shear stress and the angle of twist of the 3-m length shaft.

Part a

The diameter of the shaft

We use Torque equation to find diameter d:

[tex]\frac{T}{J} =\frac{G\theta }{L}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12*10^{6}*60 }{25600d^{4} } =\frac{60*10^{9}*0.015 }{10d}[/tex]

[tex]d^{3} =0.032414[/tex]

d=0.319m

Hence, diameter of shaft d=0.319m

Part b

Actual maximum shear stress Y, and the angle of twist of the 3m length shaft

[tex]Y=\frac{16T}{\pi d^{3} }[/tex]

[tex]Y=\frac{16*286478.90}{\pi *0.319^{3} }[/tex]

[tex]Y=44.95N/m^{2}[/tex]

Angle of the twist

Let angle of twist =  [tex]\theta[/tex]

[tex]\theta=\frac{TL}{GJ}[/tex]

  [tex]=\frac{286478.90*3}{60*10^{9}(\frac{\pi }{32}(0.019)^{9} }[/tex]

 =0.01409rad

Angle of twist=0.01409 rad
