Study Notes
Torsional Stresses
- A machine member subjected to the action of two equal and opposite couples acting in parallel planes is said to be subjected to torsion.
- The stress set up by torsion is known as torsional shear stress.
- Torsional shear stress is zero at the centroidal axis and maximum at the outer surface.
- Maximum torsional shear stress at the outer surface of a shaft is obtained from a specific equation.
- Torsional shear stress on any cross-section normal to the axis is directly proportional to the distance from the centre of the axis.
Composite Shafts
- Two shafts of different diameters connected together to form one shaft is known as a composite shaft.
- Shafts connected in series have driving torque applied at one end and resisting torque at the other end.
- Shafts connected in parallel have driving torque applied at the junction of the two shafts, and resisting torques at the other ends of the shafts.
Bending Stresses
- Machine parts or structural members may be subjected to static or dynamic loads, causing bending stress in sections.
- Assumptions made while deriving the bending formula include:
- Material is perfectly homogeneous and isotropic.
- Material obeys Hooke's law.
- Transverse sections remain plane after bending.
- Each layer is free to expand or contract independently.
- Young's modulus is the same in tension and compression.
- Bending equation: M = Bending moment, σ = Bending stress, I = Moment of inertia, y = Distance from neutral axis, E = Young's modulus, and R = Radius of curvature.
Eccentric Loading
- An external load whose line of action is parallel but does not coincide with the centroidal axis is an eccentric load.
- Eccentricity is the distance between the centroidal axis and the eccentric load.
- Examples of eccentric loading include C-clamps, punching machines, brackets, and offset connecting links.
- Eccentric force can be replaced by a parallel force and a couple.
- Resultant stresses are obtained by the principle of superimposition of stresses.
