The composite shaft shown consists of a 5 -mm-thick brass jacket $\left(G_{\text {brass }}=39 \quad \mathrm{GPa}\right)$ bonded to a $40-\mathrm{mm}$ -diameter steel core $\left(G_{\text {steel }}=77.2 \mathrm{GPa}\right) .$ Knowing that the shaft is subjected to a $600-\mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}$ torque, determine $(a)$ the maximum shearing stress in the brass jacket, (b) the maximum shearing stress in the steel core, $(c)$ the angle of twist of $B$ relative to $A$.

Key Concepts

Composite Shaft Analysis

When a shaft is made from two or more different materials bonded together, the analysis must consider the separate material properties (such as the shear modulus) and geometries of each section. In composite shaft analysis, it is assumed that all parts undergo the same angle of twist, leading to compatibility conditions that require balancing of the applied torque distribution between the different materials. This concept is pivotal to correctly predicting stress distributions and deformation in composite systems.

Angle of Twist in Torsion

The angle of twist is a measure of the rotational deformation that occurs due to an applied torque and is given by ? = TL/(JG), where L is the length of the shaft, G is the shear modulus, and J is the polar moment of inertia. This concept ensures that deformation limits are met and that the structural and functional integrity of the shaft is maintained under twisting loads.

Shear Stress Distribution in Torsion

The distribution of shear stress in a shaft under torsion is given by the relation ? = T?/J, where T is the applied torque, ? is the radial distance from the center, and J is the polar moment of inertia. This concept is essential for identifying the maximum shear stress in the material, which is critical for ensuring that the shaft does not fail under applied loads.

Polar Moment of Inertia

The polar moment of inertia is a geometric property of a cross-sectional area that quantifies its resistance to torsion. It is crucial because, for circular sections, it determines how the applied torque is distributed as shear stress. The calculation of the polar moment of inertia for different geometries (such as solid and hollow sections) directly influences the design and analysis under torsional loading.

Torsion in Circular Shafts

This concept deals with how a torque applied to a circular shaft generates shear stresses and strains throughout its cross?section. It relies on the relationship between torque, radius, and the polar moment of inertia, and forms the basis for determining stress distributions and deformation in engineering components under twisting loads.
