Question
The engineer needs to design a cylinder shaft, with length L=1 m, to transmit a power of 500W
and rotating at 17 rad/s. The radius of the cross-section is 0.01m, which gives us the polar 2nd
moment of area J=1.57x108m4. Two materials can be chosen:
Material A: expensive, shear modulus G-80GPa, and the maximum allowed shear
stress is 280MPa
Material B: cheap, shear modulus G=25GPa, and the maximum allowed shear stress
is 200MPa
(a)
Determine the torsion angles if material A or B is applied, respectively.
(b)
If the safety MUST be ensured, and a lower cost is preferred, which material
should be chosen? (Safety factor = 0.8)
