A horizontal shaft of 75mm diameter projects from a bearing and,
in addition to the torque transmitted, the shaft carries a vertical
load of 8 kN at 300 mm from the bearing. If the safe stress for the
material, as determined in a simple tension test, is 135 MN/m2 find
the safe torque to which the shaft may be subjected using as a
criterion
(a) The maximum shearing, stress,
(b) The maximum strain energy per unit volume.
Poisson’s ratio ? = 0.29.
