PROBLEM 3.30
While the exact distribution of the shearing stresses in a
hollow-cylindrical shaft is as shown in Fig. a, an approximate
value can be obtained for τmax by assuming that the stresses
are uniformly distributed over the area A of the cross section,
as shown in Fig. b, and then further assuming that all of the
elementary shearing forces act at a distance from O equal to
the mean radius ½(c1 + c2 ) of the cross section. This
approximate value τ 0 = T /Arm , where T is the applied torque.
Determine the ratio τ max /τ 0 of the true value of the maximum
shearing stress and its approximate value τ 0 for values
of c1 /c2 , respectively equal to 1.00, 0.95, 0.75, 0.50, and 0.

PROBLEM 3.44
For the gear train described in Prob. 3.43, determine
the angle through which end A rotates when
T = 5lb ⋅ in.,

form the rotation of shaft A, is connected to the shaft
by means of the gear train shown, which consists of
four gears and three solid steel shafts each of diameter
d. Two of the gears have a radius r and the other two a
radius nr. If the rotation of the coder F is prevented,
determine in terms of T, l, G, J, and n the angle
through which end A rotates.

PROBLEM 3.117
After the solid shaft of Prob. 3.116 has been loaded and unloaded as
described in that problem, a torque T1 of sense opposite to the original
torque T is applied to the shaft. Assuming no change in the value of ϕY ,
determine the angle of twist ϕ1 for which yield is initiated in this second
loading and compare it with the angle ϕY for which the shaft started to
yield in the original loading.
PROBLEM 3.116 The solid shaft shown is made of a steel that is
assumed to be elastoplastic with τ Y = 145 MPa and G = 77.2 GPa.
The torque is increased in magnitude until the shaft has been twisted
through 6°; the torque is then removed. Determine (a) the magnitude
and location of the maximum residual shearing stress, (b) the permanent
angle of twist.
SOLUTION
From the solution to Prob. 3.116,
c = 0.016 m, L = 0.6 m
τ Y = 145 × 106 Pa,
J = 102.944 × 10−9 m 4
The residual stress at ρ = c is
τ res = 33.5 MPa
For loading in the opposite sense, the change in stress to produce reversed yielding is
τ1 = τ Y − τ res = 145 × 106 − 33.5 × 106 = 111.5 × 106 Pa

PROBLEM 3.149
A hollow cylindrical shaft of length L, mean radius cm , and uniform
thickness t is subjected to a torque of magnitude T. Consider, on the
one hand, the values of the average shearing stress τ ave and the angle
of twist ϕ obtained from the elastic torsion formulas developed in
Sections 3.4 and 3.5 and, on the other hand, the corresponding values
obtained from the formulas developed in Sec. 3.13 for thin-walled
shafts. (a) Show that the relative error introduced by using the thinwalled-shaft formulas rather than the elastic torsion formulas is the
same for τ ave and ϕ and that the relative error is positive and
proportional to the ratio t/cm . (b) Compare the percent error
corresponding to values of the ratio t /cm of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4.
