The steel shaft has a radius of 15 mm. Determine the torque Tin the shaft if the two strain gages, attached to the surface of the shaft, report strains of elementof_x = -80(10^-6) and elementof_y = 80(10^-6). Also, determine the strains acting in the x and y directions. E_st = 200 GPa. v_st = 0.3. The shaft has a radius of 15 mm and is made of L2 tool steel. Determine the strains in the x' and y direction a torque T = 2 kN middot m is applied to the shaft.

Part A.

T = 65.248  N-m

Part B.

εx' = 0.00245

εy' = - 0.00245

Explanation:

Part A.

Given

R = 15 mm = 0.015 m

εx' = - 80*10⁻⁶

εy' = 80*10⁻⁶

Est = E = 200 GPa

υst = υ = 0.3

T = ?

In order to understand the question we can see the pic shown.

Pure shear.

εx = εy = 0

We apply the formula

εx' = εx*Cos²θ + εy*Sin²θ + γxy*Sin θ*Cos θ

If

θ = 45° we have

- 80*10⁻⁶ = 0 + 0 + γxy*Sin 45*Cos 45°

⇒   γxy = - 160*10⁻⁶

Also,

θ = 135° we have

80*10⁻⁶ = 0 + 0 + γxy*Sin 135*Cos 135°

⇒   γxy = - 160*10⁻⁶

Then we get G as follows:

G = E/(2*(1 + υ))

⇒    G = 200 GPa/(2*(1 + 0.3)) = 76.923 GPa = 76.923*10⁹Pa

we can use the equation

τ = G*γxy   ⇒       τ = (76.923*10⁹Pa)(160*10⁻⁶) = 12.308*10⁶Pa

Finally, we can obtain T as follows

T = τ*Jz/R

where

Jz = π*R⁴/2     ⇒   Jz = π*(0.015 m)⁴/2  = 7.95*10⁻⁸m⁴

⇒    T = 12.308*10⁶Pa*7.95*10⁻⁸m⁴/0.015 m

⇒    T = 65.248  N-m

Part B.

The shaft has a radius of 15 mm and is made of L2 tool steel. Determine the strains in the x' and y' direction if a torque T = 2 kN-m is applied to the shaft.

Given:

R = 15 mm = 0.015 m

Jz = 7.95*10⁻⁸m⁴

E = 200 GPa

υ = 0.3

G = 76.923*10⁹Pa

T = 2 kN-m = 2000 N-m

We can apply the equation

T = τ*Jz/R  ⇒   τ = T*R/Jz

⇒   τ = 2000 N-m*(0.015 m)/(7.95*10⁻⁸m⁴)

⇒   τ = 3.77*10⁸ Pa

We use the formula

τ = G*γxy   ⇒   γxy = τ/G

⇒   γxy = 3.77*10⁸ Pa/76.923*10⁹Pa

⇒   γxy = 0.0049

Now, we apply the equations

εx' = εx*Cos²θ + εy*Sin²θ + γxy*Sin θ*Cos θ

If

θ = 45° we have

εx' = 0 + 0 + 0.0049*Sin 45°*Cos 45°

⇒   εx' = 0.00245

If

θ = 135° we have

εy' = 0 + 0 + 0.0049*Sin 135°*Cos 135°

⇒   εy' = - 0.00245
