We were discussing the Torsion
or twisting moment, Shear stress produced in a circular shaft subjected to torsion and Torque transmitted by a circular solid shaft in our previous
posts.
Now we are going further to start a new topic i.e. Torque
transmitted by a circular hollow shaft with the help of this post.
So, what is torsion or twisting moment?
A shaft will said to be in torsion, if it will be
subjected with two equal and opposite torques applied at its two ends.
When a shaft will be subjected to torsion or
twisting moment, there will be developed shear stress and shear strain in the
shaft material.
We will discuss here one case of a hollow circular
shaft which will be subjected to torsion and we will secure here the expression
for maximum torque transmitted by a hollow circular shaft.
We have following information from above figure
Ro = Outer radius of the hollow circular shaft
Ri = Inner radius of the hollow circular shaft
Do = Outer diameter of the hollow circular shaft
Di = Inner diameter of the hollow circular shaft
dr = Thickness of small elementary circular ring
r = Radius of the small elementary of circular ring
q = Shear stress at a radius r from the centre of
the hollow circular shaft
Ï„ = Maximum shear stress at outer surface of shaft
dA = Area of the small elementary of circular ring
dA = 2П x r x dr
Shear stress, at a radius r from the centre, could
be determined as mentioned here
q/r = Ï„ / Ro
q = Ï„ x r/ Ro
Turning force due to shear stress at a radius r from
the centre could be determined as mentioned here
dF = q x dA
dF = τ x r/ Ro x 2П x r x dr
dF = τ/ Ro x 2П r2dr
Twisting moment at the circular elementary ring
could be determined as mentioned here
dT = Turning force x r
dT = τ/ Ro x 2П r3dr
Total torque could be easily determined by
integrating the above equation between limits Ri and Ro.
Therefore total torque transmitted by a hollow
circular shaft will be given by following formula

We will now discuss the Principal
planes and principal stresses, in the category of strength of material, in our
next post.
