Circular bars subjected to torsion experience Pure Shear over the cross section. Then, why a classroom chalk subjected torsion experience brittle failure by tension cracking at 45° to the circular cross section? Do some research and explain how shafts made of ductile materials fail when subjected to torsion. Compare and contrast both the brittle failure in chalk and ductile failure in shaft. Explain your answer using the plotted graphs.

In a certain process, steel bars are manufactured and subjected to a torsion test. Bars are considered acceptable if they support at least 15 lb-ft. Currently the process produces bars that support on average 15.23 lb-ft with a variance of 0.04 lb-ft^2. a. What proportion of the bars will not be able to meet the specifications? b. If we take a sample of 50 bars, how many are expected to fail the test? c. If we want no more than...

An axial pull of 45 kN is applied on the three bars of varying cross section and connected to each other as shown in figure. Two outer steel bars are of same length and diameter, but the middle bar made up of brass having cross sectional dimensions 20 mm x 20 mm. The length of the middle bar used was 4 times more than that of the two outer bars and stress in the two outer portion were found to...

A direct shear test is conducted on a large specimen of dry sand (square cross section with following dimensions: 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 3.0 cm [height], Mass = 271.0 g) with a normal stress of 500 kPa. Failure occurred when the horizontal force was 1.96 kN. For the same sand, tests were also conducted to determine the specific gravity and the maximum and minimum void ratios. These tests yielded the following results: Gs= 2.65, emax=0.80, emin = 0.45....
