Polar Moment of Inertia

  • For a solid shaft, the expression for the polar moment of inertia is known.
  • The polar moment of inertia increases when a solid shaft's diameter is increased.

Material Properties

  • The ultimate strength of the material is measured in psi.
  • A factor of safety is required for the round steel bar.

Power-Torque-Speed Relationship

  • The unit of torque is given in a specific unit in the example.

Torsional Stress

  • When a shaft is subjected to torque, it experiences twisting.
  • A twisting force applied to a body results in torsional stress.
  • In the context of the text, direct tensile stress is typically measured in a specific unit.

Combined Stress

  • When a steel rod is subjected to both tensile and torsional loads simultaneously, it experiences both types of stress.
