1. A compound shaft consists of two solid shafts that are connected at fl ange B and securely
attached to rigid walls at A and C. Shaft (1) is a 75 mm diameter solid aluminum [G = 27 GPa]
shaft that is 1.5 m. long. Shaft (2) is a 50 mm diameter solid bronze [G= 44 GPa] shaft that is
1 m long. If a concentrated torque of 33.6 kNm. is applied to flange B, determine;

(a) the maximum shear stress magnitudes in shafts (1) and (2).
(b) the rotation angle of flange B relative to support A.

2. The torsional assembly shown in Figure 2 consists of a solid 60-mm-diameter aluminum [G=
28 GPa] segment (2) and two bronze [G = 45 GPa] tube segments (1) and (3), each of which
has an outside diameter of 75 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm. If concentrated torques of
TB = 6 kN-m and TC = 10 kN-m are applied in the directions shown, determine;

(a) the maximum shear stress magnitude in bronze tube segments (1) and (3).
(b) the maximum shear stress magnitude in aluminum segment (2).
(c) the rotation angle yof joint C.

3. The composite shaft shown in Figure 3 consists of a solid brass segment (1) and a solid
aluminum segment (2) that are connected at fl ange B and securely attached to rigid walls at
A and C. Brass segment (1) has a diameter of 18 mm, a length of L1 = 235 mm, and a shear
modulus GBrass of 39 GPa. Aluminum segment (2) has a diameter of 24 mm, a length of L2 =
165 mm, and a shear modulus GAluminum of 28 GPa. If a concentrated torque of 270 N-m is
applied to flange B, determine;
(a) the maximum shear stress magnitudes in segments (1) and (2).
(b) the rotation angle of flange B relative to support A.

4. The composite shaft shown in Figure 4 consists of a solid brass segment (1) and a solid
aluminum segment (2) that are connected at fl ange B and securely attached to rigid supports
at A and C. Brass segment (1) has a diameter of 25 mm, a length of L1 = 380 mm, a shear
modulus, G of 38 GPa, and an allowable shear stress, allow= of 55 MPa. Aluminum segment
(2) has a diameter of 19 mm, a length of L2 = 500 mm, a shear modulus of 27 GPa, and an
allowable shear stress,allow of 41 MPa. Determine
(a) the allowable torque TB that can be applied to the composite shaft at fl ange B.

5. The torsional assembly of Figure 5 consists of a solid 75-mm-diameter bronze [G = 45 GPa]

segment (1) securely connected at fl ange B to solid 75-mm-diameter stainless steel [G = 86
GPa] segments (2) and (3). The fl ange at B is secured by four 14-mm-diameter bolts, which
are each located on a 120-mm-diameter bolt circle (Figure5b). The allowable shear stress,
bolt of the bolts is 90 MPa, and friction effects in the flange can be neglected for this analysis.
Determine;
(a) the allowable torque TC that can be applied to the assembly at C without exceeding
the capacity of the bolted flange connection.
(b) the maximum shear stress magnitude in bronze segment (1).
(c) the maximum shear stress magnitude in stainless steel segments (2) and (3).
