STRESSES CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY
SOLUTION (4.18)
Known: A steel propeller shaft with a given diameter transmits a known power at a
specified angular velocity.
Find:
(a) Determine the nominal shear stress at the surface.
(b) Determine the outside diameter required to give the same outer surface
stress if a hollow shaft of inside diameter 0.85 times the outside diameter is
used.
(c) Compare the weights of the solid and hollow shafts.

Assumptions:
1. Bending and axial loads are negligible.
2. The bar is straight and round.
3. The material is homogeneous, and perfectly elastic within the stress

Comment: It is more economical to use a hollow shaft when pure shear stress is
involved.
SOLUTION (4.19)
Known: The maximum shear stress is given for a hollow shaft of known geometry
subjected to pure torsion.
Find: Determine the torque that produces the given maximum shear stress.
Schematic and Given Data:
Assumptions:
1. The shaft is straight.
2. The material is homogeneous and perfectly elastic.
3. There are no stress raisers.
