Solution

The maximum torsional stresses in a shaft occur at the outermost points of the shaft, which is the external surface. This is because the distance from the neutral axis (the axis about which the shaft is twisting) is greatest at the surface, leading to higher stress levels. Therefore, the correct answer is:

a. On the external surface of the shaft

To solve for the maximum torsional stress and the angle of twist, we need to use the following formulas: 1. **Maximum Torsional Stress:** \[ \tau_{\text{max}} = \frac{T \cdot c}{J} \] where: - \( T \) is the applied torque. - \( c \) is the outer radius of the section. - \( J \) is the polar moment of inertia. 2. **Angle of Twist:** \[ \theta = \frac{T \cdot L}{G \cdot J} \] where: - \( T \) is the applied torque. - \( L \) is the length of the section. - \( G \) is the shear modulus. - \( J \) is the polar moment of inertia. ### Step 1: Calculate the Polar Moment of Inertia (J) For a thin-walled closed section, the polar moment of inertia \( J \) can be approximated by: \[ J \approx 2 \cdot A_m \cdot t^2\] where: - \( A_m \) is the mean area enclosed by the midline of the section. - \( t \) is the thickness of the wall. The mean area \( A_m \) can be calculated as: \[ A_m = \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Mean thickness} \] The perimeter of the midline is: \[ \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (45 - 12.5) + \pi \times (15 - 12.5) \] \[ \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times 32.5 + \pi \times 2.5\] \[ \text{Perimeter} = 65 + 7.85 \approx 72.85 \, \text{mm} \] The mean thickness is: \[ t = 12.5 \, \text{mm} \] So, \[ A_m = 72.85 \times 12.5 \approx 910.625 \, \text{mm}^2\] Now, the polar moment of inertia \( J \) is: \[ J \approx 2 \times 910.625 \times (12.5)^2\] \[ J \approx 2 \times 910.625 \times 156.25\] \[ J \approx 284570.3125 \, \text{mm}^4\] ### Step 2: Calculate the Maximum Torsional StressThe outer radius \( c \) is: \[ c = 15 \, \text{mm} \] The applied torque \( T \) is: \[ T = 500 \, \text{Nm} = 500 \times 10^3 \, \text{Nmm} \] So, the maximum torsional stress \( \tau_{\text{max}} \) is: \[ \tau_{\text{max}} = \frac{500 \times 10^3 \times 15}{284570.3125} \] \[ \tau_{\text{max}} \approx 26.37 \, \text{N/mm}^2\] ### Step 3: Calculate the Angle of TwistThe length \( L \) is: \[ L = 2 \, \text{m} = 2000 \, \text{mm} \] The shear modulus \( G \) is: \[ G = 26 \, \text{GPa} = 26 \times 10^3 \, \text{N/mm}^2\] So, the angle of twist \( \theta \) is: \[ \theta = \frac{500 \times 10^3 \times 2000}{26 \times 10^3 \times 284570.3125} \] \[ \theta \approx 0.134 \, \text{radians} \] ### Summary: 1. The maximum torsional stress developed is approximately \( 26.37 \, \text{N/mm}^2 \). 2. The angle of twist for a 2 m length is approximately \( 0.134 \, \text{radians} \).
