"(T) is torque, (c) is the outer radius, and (J) is the polar moment of inertia. For a solid circle, (J = \frac\pi32 d^4)."

[ \phi = \fracTLJG ]

Dr. Vance tossed him a well-worn copy of Mechanics of Materials, 7th Edition . "Open to Chapter 3," she said. "We don't have time for a finite element simulation. We need to do this by hand, using the fundamental torsion formulas." Mechanics Of Materials 7th Edition Chapter 3 Solutions

"Material spec says yield shear strength is 60 MPa," Leo said. "We're below yield. So why did it fail?" "Because you didn't check the angle of twist ," Dr. Vance said. "Turn to Equation 3-15."

[ \phi = \frac(4000)(2.5)(3.106\times10^-6)(77\times10^9) ] [ \phi = 0.0418 \text radians \approx 2.4 \text degrees ] "(T) is torque, (c) is the outer radius,

Setting: Engineering Lab, Coast Guard Inspection Yard. 2:00 AM.

"New shaft diameter: 94 mm," Leo said. The replacement shaft—94 mm solid steel—was installed by 5:30 AM. As the sun rose over the SS Resilient , Leo looked at the Chapter 3 solutions in his textbook. They weren't just answers to odd-numbered problems. They were a map of how materials behave when twisted—elastically at first, then plastically, then fatally. "Open to Chapter 3," she said

"Exactly," said Dr. Vance. "The Resilient was overloaded by cyclic torque. Now go re-design the shaft diameter using Equation 3-9: (J = \pi d^4/32). Solve for (d) using (\tau_allow = 60/2.5 = 24) MPa."

"2.4 degrees of twist over 2.5 meters is acceptable," Leo said.

Leo solved: [ d = \sqrt[3]\frac16T\pi \tau_allow ] [ d = \sqrt[3]\frac16(4000)\pi (24\times10^6) = 0.094 \text m \approx 94 \text mm ]
