The torque makes the shaft twist and one end rotates relative to the other inducing. Crosssections of noncircular nonaxisymmetric shafts are distorted when subjected to. The shafts are to be bolted together at their flanges. Shafts are widely used in engineering applications to transmit power point to another, from a motor to a machine tool, from an engine to the rear axle of an automobile or from a steam or hydraulic turbine to an electric generator. July 1984 design of powertransmitting shafts stuart h. This is true whether the shaft is rotating such as drive shafts on engines, motors and turbines or stationary such as with a bolt or screw.
Power is measured in the unit of watts w, and 1 w 1 n m s1. The shear stress on all the differential elements, da, generate a moment around the center. Plane sections of shaft remain plane after the application of twisting moment, as a result there is no distortion in the sections of. The torsion of noncircular section follows the same formula. Get the knowledge you need in order to pass your classes and more. As the bar is twisted, plane sections remain plane, radii remain straight, and each section rotates about the longitudinal axis. At the end of this chapter you should be able to complete torsion calculations using. Consider a shaft rigidly clamped at one end and twisted at the other end by a torque t f.
