4. Torsional Loading4.0 Calculation of Torque in Shafts
Torque is a moment about the axis of a member (for example a powertransmission shaft) and may be denoted by a curved arrow, or a double-headed
arrow according to the right-hand rule. In calculating internal torques in a shaftit is important to follow a sign convention. One of the following may be used:
This may be simply shown in 2-D as in the following figure.
Either convention would be acceptable. Convention 1 will be used in thefollowing examples, unless stated otherwise. Also, it is not necessary to show
both the double headed arrows and the curved arrows. Either one would besufficient. For the shaft in Figure 4.3, determine the torque and sketch its
variation along the axis, as a torque diagram.

The reaction may be found by writing the overall equation of equilibrium.
For the overall freebody in Figure 4.4,
T = 0 gives:-TA -20 - 90 +260 -100 = 0
TA = 50 Nm.
Internal torquesmay be found
by consideringthe equilibrium
of segments ofthe shaft. For
example,making an
imaginary cutbetween C and D and considering the right-handside freebody gives
T = TCD -260 + 100 =0TCD = 160 Nm
The same result would be obtained by taking a free-body left of the cut.Similarly the torque at various sections may be calculated using the method of
sections.
This results in the torque diagram in Figure 4.6.

Case 2: Shaft subject to distributed torsional loading
Sometimes, a shaft may be subject to a distributed loading. Examples include,
drill-pipes, and beams subject to uniform eccentric loading. Consider the
drilling shaft shown in Figure 4.7 which is subject to a torsional loading of 200Nm/m between B and C and is driven at end A.
For equilibrium, TA = 200 (N/m) (3 m) = 600 Nm.The torque distribution may be found my applying the method section.

4.1 Torsion of circular shafts
Shafts are skeletal structural members subject to torsional loadings. It isimportant to determine the stress distribution and angle of twist in designing
shafts. Rotating shafts are made of circular cross section (either hollow, orsolid) and this is the category of section we will first consider.
Assumptions:
During twisting, radii remain straight and plane sections remain plane. Stresses and strains are within the elastic, and proportional limit. Material is homogeneous, and
isotropic.
Consider an infinitesimal shaft segmentsubject to an induced torque T (seechapter 1 for calculation of inducedtorque). Let us now cut out a typical disk
element of radius r from this element.
Since the distortions are small, thecircumferential lengthAA" =
Denoting distance OA by r, AA" =Using these equations, = (/x) rAs the distances areinfinitesimal, this
may be written as:
= (1)
Recalling the
assumption that the
radii remainstraight, the ratio
(d/dx) is aconstant. This implies that the shear strain increases linearlywith the radius. At the centre, the strain is zero, and it is
maximum at the surface of the shaft.From Hooke's law in shear,
= (2)Combining equations (1) and (2) we get, = (3)
This means the shear stress and shear strain vary linearly with r.

The maximum shear strain and stress occur near the
surface (when r = R), and may be denoted by m and mrespectively.
Therefore, m = G m (4)
Infinitsimal force F = ( )
Infinitsimal torque T = F ( )
Substituting for dF we get, T = ( ) r
Using equation (3), T =G(d/dx)r2( ) (5)
From this, T = (6)
This integral is referred to as the

and is denoted by the letter _________
Hence equation (6) may be written as, T = GJdx

where J = r2 dA (7a)

Example:The power loading on a uniform shaft of solid circular cross section is shown inthe figure below. The speed of the shaft is 900 rpm. The shear modulus (G) of
steel may be taken as 80 GPa. If the allowable shear stress is 60 MPa, find theminimum shaft diameter. For this diameter, what would be the angle of twist
between A and D?
Shaft speed = 900 rpm = 900/60 =15 Hz = 30 rad/s = 94.25 rad/sHence the torque loading on the shaft would be as follows:At A, TA = 5000/94.25 = 53.1 Nm;
Similarly, At C, TC =74.3 Nm, and at D, TD =21.2 NmThe torque at B (input) may be found from the overall equilibrium equation:
TB 53.1-21.2-74.3=0 gives TB = 148.6 NmTorque diagram may be obtained by using method of sections. For this case, the
torque diagram is given below. Note this would correspond to the signconvention given below. The opposite convention would give opposite results. In
the past exam solutions, the opposite convention has been used.
Maximum shear stress = 95.5(R)/J = 2(95.5)/( R3) 60106which gives R 10.04 mm. Use R = 11 mm. or diameter = 22 mm.This gives J = (11)4/2 mm4 =22.998 10-9 m4, and G = 80109 Pa.

Shear Stress due to torque in thin-walled tubes
Shear Flow
Longitudinal force on AB =
Longitudinal force on DC =
For longitudinal equilibrium, these forces mustbe equal and opposite giving:
Shear flow due to torque is constant.
Shear flow - torque relationship
We have, q = ()(t) = a constant ....(1)
Now consider the torque due to shear flow acting
over an infinitesimal length L as shown. If the
thickness of the wall is t, and the shear stress is
, then the torque about an arbitrary point O is
given by:
T == .....(2)
where a the perpendicular distance between O and the line of action of the
shear stress.Using equation (1), this equation may be written in terms of shear flow q as:
T == q(L)(a) .....(3)
This may be expressed in terms of the area bounded by the
triangle OAA' which has a base length L and height a.
Since OAA' = (1/2)(a)(L)
Thus, infinitesimal torque T = 2 q (OAA') ....(4)
By integration, T =2q( ) ..(5)

shaft diameter for a solid shaft if the allowable stress in shear is 60 MPa.Calculate the angle of twist between the two ends if the shear modulus is 80
GPa.

This is the only equationfrom statics, and sincethere are two unknowns the
problem is staticallyindeterminate. This may
be done in two ways.Method 1:The internal torques may
be found by method ofsections, in terms of either
of the two unknownreactions. Working in terms of TC, the internal torques are:TAB = 180-TC .(2)

Substituting equation (4) into equation (5) gives, 180-3TC = 0 giving TC = 60 Nm.From equation (1) TA = 120 Nm. (this is not actually required)
The induced torques may be found by putting TC = 60 Nm into equations (2) and (3)which give the following induced torques: TAB = 120 Nm and TBC = -60 Nm. Shearstress in the shorter segment (AB) is given as 30 MPa.
