Shear Stress Distribution in Circular Section

Solid circular shaft

Solid Circular Shaft

Hollow circular shaft Hollow circular shaft

Di = internal diameter
Do = outer diameter

Outer Diameter

Thin circular tube with mean radius R Shear Stress

Let t is thickness of tube

IP = Ar2
A = (2πR) × t

IP = (2πRt)R2 = 2πR3t

ZP = IP/Rmax = 2πR3t/ R = 2πR2t

The shear stress distribution is assumed uniform across the thickness and is given by

τ = T/ZP

Composite circular shaft

Consider a composite circular shaft made from two materials whose modulus of rigidity are G1 and G2 In composite shaft, total torque T is shared by both shaft.

Shear Strain

DESIGN OF SHAFT

Shaft is designed on the basis of following two criteria,

Strength criteria

τ≤τP

where, τP is permissible shear stress, τ is given as,

Strength

Stiffness criteria

θ≤θP

where, θP is permissible angle of twist.

Where, θ is given by,

T/IP = Gθ/L

θ = TL/GIP

The diameter of shaft will be greater value that is calculated by strength criteria or stiffness criteria.

SERIES COMBINATION OF SHAFT Series Combination

Series combination of shafts is done to transmit torque from one shaft to another shaft. For series connection couplings are used. Torque in all shaft connected in series will be equal.

T1 = T2 = T

Total angle of twist from A to C

θAC = θAB + θBC

θAC = TL1/G1IP1 + TL2/G2IP2

PARALLEL COMBINATION OF SHAFT Parallel Combination

When one shaft is inside the other shaft, then two shafts are said to be connected in parallel. Parallel combination is done by providing keys between the shafts.

Let IP1 and G1 are properties of outer shaft and IP2 and G2 are properties of inner shaft.

Since there is no relative motion between them. Then angle of twist in both shaft will be equal.

θ1 = θ2

T1L/G1IP1 = T2L/G2IP2

The total torque is shared by both shafts. Hence

T1 + T2 = T

STRAIN ENERGY IN TORSION

The torsional strain energy of a shaft is equal to the work done in twisting

U = 1/2Tθ

where, T = Applied torque, θ = Angle of twisting

Due to torque, shear stresses are developed in metal. Hence strain energy due to torque can be represented in terms of shear stress.

Strain energy per unit volume = τ2/2G

Shear Resilience

Consider a elemental tube of radius r and thickness dr and length L

Volume dV = (2πr)dr.L

∴ Strain energy stored in elemental volume dV is given by,

Strain Energy

Case I: Strain energy in terms of torque

Torque

Case II: Strain energy in terms of τmax

Strain energy

Case III: Strain energy in hollow shaft in terms of τmax

Hollow Shaft

SHAFT SUBJECTED TO COMBINED BENDING MOMENT AND TWISTING MOMENT

When the shaft is subjected to combined bending moment and twisting moment, the maximum stresses induced in shaft are due to the combined effect of shear stress (τ) and bending stress (σb)

(i) Effect of pure bending

Pure Bending

(ii) Effect of pure torsion

Pure Torsion

(iii) Combined effect of bending and twisting: 

Under the effect of bending moment (M) and torsional moment (T), the stresses at extreme bottom or top fibre construct a stress element as shown in figure.
