Automotive power train transmission shaft application In this application we decided on 2 hollow lightweight shafts options instead of the usual solid version. Both hollow shaft options will be of the same material, with same weight and length (6 ft). For 1 hollow shaft option, the inner and outer diameters are 4 in. and 6 in., respectively. Hollow shaft option 2 is limited by space, to an 8-in. outer diameter.

Automotive power train transmission shaft application
In this application we decided on 2 hollow lightweight shafts options
instead of the usual solid version.
Both hollow shaft options will be of the same material, with same
weight and length (6 ft).
For 1 hollow shaft option, the inner and outer diameters are 4 in. and
6 in., respectively.
Hollow shaft option 2 is limited by space, to an 8-in. outer diameter.

Transcribed Image Text:1. Determine for the same maximum torque
application, which hollow shaft option is
better/safer?
2. Explain your answer using engineering terms
and show why.
3. State your final chosen shaft dimensions design
4. Sketch
