Pure Torsion Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The torsional equation for the shaft is given by,
\( \frac{T}{J} = \frac{\tau }{r} = \frac{{G\theta }}{L}\)
Torque per radian twist over the length is known as torsional stiffness (k)
\(k=\frac{T}{\theta}=\frac{GJ}{L}\)
Here,
The parameter GJ is called the torsional rigidity of the shaft.
Torsional rigidity is also defined as torque per unit angular twist over the length of the shaft

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Pure Torsion Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Twisting moment impart an angular displacement of one end cross-section with respect to the other end and it will setup shear stresses on any cross section of the bar perpendicular to its axis.
Torsion Equation of a shaft is given by,
\(\frac{T}{J} = \frac{τ }{r} = \frac{{Gθ }}{L}\)
Polar section modulus of shaft is given by,
\({Z_p} = \frac{J}{r} = \frac{{\frac{{\pi {D^4}}}{{32}}}}{{\frac{D}{2}}} = \frac{{\pi {D^3}}}{{16}}\)
Where, T = Torque, J = Polar moment of inertia, τ = Shear stress, r = Radius of shaft, G = Shear modulus, θ = Angle of twist and L = Length of shaft
Shear stress distribution across the section of the circular shaft is shown below.
Using Torsinal formula
\(\frac{T}{J} = \frac{τ }{r} = \frac{{G\theta }}{L}\)
Forgiven T and J; τ ∝ r i.e.

Pure Torsion Question 3:
A motor driving a solid circular steel shaft transmits 40 kW of power at 500 rpm. If the diameter of the shaft is 40 mm, the maximum shear stress in the shaft is ________ MPa.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 60 - 61
Pure Torsion Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Power (P)
P = T × W
Torsion equation
\(\frac{T}{J} = \frac{{G\theta }}{L} = \frac{\tau }{r}\)
Calculation:
Given:
P = 40 kW, N = 500 rpm, D = 40 mm
As, P = T × W
\(40 \times {10^3} = {\rm{T}} \times \frac{{2{\rm{\pi }} \times 500}}{{60}} ⇒ {\rm{T}} = 763.9{\rm{\;Nm}} = 763.9 \times {10^3}{\rm{Nmm}}\)
Now,
\(\frac{T}{J} = \frac{\tau }{R} ⇒ \tau = \frac{{TR}}{J} = \frac{{763.9 \times {{10}^3} \times 20 \times 32}}{{\pi \times {{40}^4}}}\)
τmax. = 60.79 N/mm2 = 60.79 MPaPure Torsion Question 4:

Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 44.35 - 44.66
Pure Torsion Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Let torque developed in brass and steel is Tb & Ts respectively
Tb + Ts = 1000 ----(i)
Since both the bars are firmly joined angle of Twist at the junction will be the same
θs = θb
\(\frac{{{T_S}L}}{{{G_s}{j_s}}} = \frac{{{T_b}L}}{{{G_b}{j_b}}}\)
\(\frac{{{T_s}}}{{{T_b}}} = \frac{{{G_s}}}{{{G_b}}}\times\frac{{({{50}^4} - {{32}^4})}}{{{{(32)}^4}}}\)
\(\frac{{{T_s}}}{{{T_b}}} = 4.96\times2=9.92\) ----(ii)
(i) and (ii)
Ts = 908.42
Tb = 91.57
\({({z_{max}})_{steel}} = \frac{{Ts}}{{{{(zp)}_s}}} =16\times \,\,\frac{{908.42 \times {{10}^3} }}{{\pi \times 50^3 ({1} - {{\frac{32^4}{50^4}}})}}\)
zmax = 44.44 N/mm2

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Pure Torsion Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The equation for Shaft Subjected to Torsion T
\(\frac{τ }{R}\) = \(\frac{T}{J}\) = \(\frac{{Gθ }}{L}\)
Solid shaft J = \(\frac{{\pi D_s^4}}{{32}}\)
Hollow Shaft J = \(\frac{{\pi \left( {D_0^4 - \;D_i^4} \right)}}{{32}}\)
τ = Shear stress induced due to torsion T, G = Modulus of Rigidity, θ = Angular deflection of the shaft, R, L = Shaft radius and length respectively, Ds = Diameter of the solid shaft, D0 = Outer Diameter of Hollow shaft, Di = Inner Diameter of Hollow shaft
Calculation;
Given
D0 = 3 × Di
Ds = D0 (Solid shaft diameter is equal to an outer diameter of hollow shaft)
Material is the same for the hollow and solid shaft (i.e. G is the same for both because G depends upon the material)
\(\frac{T}{\tau }\) = \(\frac{{G\theta }}{L}\)
∴ T \( \propto \;\) J (θ, G, L same for both or constant)
\(\frac{{{T_H}}}{{{T_s}}}\) = \(\frac{{{J_H}}}{{{J_s}}}\) = \(\frac{{\frac{\pi }{{32}}\left( {D_0^4 - D_i^4} \right)}}{{\frac{\pi }{{32}}{{\left( {{D_s}} \right)}^4}}}\)
Put, D0 = 3 × Di
Ds = D0
\(J_H\over J_s\) = \(80\over 81\)
Additional Information
Polar moment of inertia
J = \(\mathop \smallint \limits_0^R 2\pi \)r3dr
For Solid Shaft, J = \(\pi D^4 \over 32\)
For Hollow Shaft, J = \(\mathop \smallint \limits_r^R 2\pi \)r3dr = \(\frac{{\pi \left( {D_0^4 - \;D_i^4} \right)}}{{32}}\)
The assumption for Torsion equation:
\(\tau\over R\) = \(T\over J\) = \(G\theta\over L\)
- The bar is acted upon by pure torque.
- The section under consideration is remote from the point of application of the load and from a change in diameter.
- The material must obey Hooke's Law
- Cross-sections rotate as if rigid, i.e. every diameter rotates through the same angle.
Pure Torsion Question 7:
Maximum shear stress developed on the surface of a solid circular shaft under pure torsion is 160 MPa. If the shaft diameter is doubled, then the maximum shear stress developed corresponding to the same torque will be:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Pure Torsion Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept
Maximum shear stress induced in the shaft under pure torsion is given by,
\({τ _{max}} = \frac{{16{\rm{}}T}}{{\pi {d^3}}}\)
where T = Torque applied on the shaft
Calculation
Given
Maximum shear stress developed, τmax = 160 MPa
d1 = d, d2 = 2d
Since torque is constant, the only diameter is varying. Therefore the maximum shear stress varies as,
\({τ _{max}} \propto \frac{1}{{{d^3}}}\)
\(\frac{{{τ _{max}}_1}}{{{τ _{max}}_2}} = {\left( {\frac{{{d_2}}}{{{d_1}}}} \right)^3}\)
\(\frac{{160}}{{{τ _{max}}_2}} = {\left( {\frac{{2d}}{d}} \right)^3}\)
τmax2 = 20 MPa
Pure Torsion Question 8:
The strain energy due to torsion is (torsion = T; modulus of elasticity = E; moment of inertia = I; shear modulus = G; polar moment of area = J)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Pure Torsion Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The strain energy stored in a shaft due to torsion can be derived using the relationship between torque, shear stress, and the angle of twist.
Calculation:
Given:
Torque, T
Shear modulus, G
Polar moment of inertia, J
Length of the shaft, dx
The relationship between torque T, shear stress τ, and the polar moment of inertia J is given by:
\(\tau~=~\frac{Tr}{J}\)
The angle of twist θ over a length L of the shaft is related to the torque and the material properties by:
\(\theta = \frac{T \times L}{G \times J} \)
The strain energy density u per unit volume for shear is given by:
\(u = \frac{1}{2} \tau \times γ \)
Shear strain γ is related to the angle of twist θ and the radial distance r by:
\(γ = \frac{r \times \theta}{L} \)
Substituting τ and γ:
\(\gamma = \frac{r \times \theta}{L} \), \( \tau = \frac{T \times r}{J} \) and, we get: \(\gamma = \frac{r \times T \times L}{G \times J \times L} = \frac{r \times T}{G \times J} \)
\(u = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{T \times r}{J} \right) \left( \frac{r \times T}{G \times J} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \frac{T^2 \times r^2}{G \times J^2} \)
To find the total strain energy U, we integrate the strain energy density over the volume of the shaft. For a differential length dx of the shaft:
\( dU = u \times dV = \left( \frac{1}{2} \frac{T^2 \times r^2}{G \times J^2} \right) \times (2\pi r \times dr \times dx) \)
where \( dV = 2\pi r \times dr \times dx \) is the differential volume element in cylindrical coordinates
Integrating r from 0 to R (the radius of the shaft):
\( U = \int_0^L \int_0^R \frac{T^2 \times r^2}{2 G J^2} \times 2\pi r \times dr \times dx \)
Simplifying the integrand:
\( U = \int_0^L \int_0^R \frac{T^2 \times 2\pi r^3}{2 G J^2} \times dr \times dx = \int_0^L \frac{T^2 \times \pi}{G \times J^2} \left[ \frac{r^4}{4} \right]_0^R \times dx \)
Evaluating the integral:
\( U = \int_0^L \frac{T^2 \times \pi}{G \times J^2} \times \frac{R^4}{4} \times dx = \int_0^L \frac{T^2 \times \pi \times R^4}{4 G \times J^2} \times dx \)
Since : \( J = \frac{\pi \times R^4}{2} \)
\( U = \int_0^L \frac{T^2}{2GJ} \times dx \)
The strain energy due to torsion in the shaft is:
\( U = \int_0^L \frac{T^2}{2GJ} \times dx \)
Additional InformationThe elastic strain energy stored in a member of length s (it may be curved or straight) due to axial force, bending moment, shear force and torsion is summarized below:
Axial Force, P |
\({U_1} = \mathop \smallint \limits_0^s \frac{{{P^2}}}{{2AE}}ds\) |
Bending, M |
\({U_2} = \mathop \smallint \limits_0^s \frac{{{M^2}}}{{2EI}}ds\) |
Shear Force, V |
\({U_3} = \mathop \smallint \limits_0^s \frac{{{V^2}}}{{2AG}}ds\) |
Torsion, T |
\({U_4} = \mathop \smallint \limits_0^s \frac{{{T^2}}}{{2GJ}}\) |
Pure Torsion Question 9:
A solid shaft of diameter d and length L is fixed at both the ends. A torque, T0 is applied at a distance, L/4 from the left end as shown in the figure given below
The maximum shear stress in the shaft is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Pure Torsion Question 9 Detailed Solution
T0 = T1 + T2 _________________(i)
but from torsional equation
\(\frac{T}{J} = \frac{\tau }{r} = \frac{{G\theta }}{l} \Rightarrow T = \frac{{GJ\theta }}{l}\)
or \(T \propto \frac{1}{l} \Rightarrow {T_1}{l_1} = {T_2}{l_2}\)
\(\Rightarrow {T_1} \times \frac{L}{4} = {T_2} \times \frac{{3L}}{4} \Rightarrow {T_1} = 3{T_2}\)
from equation (i) \({T_0} = 3{T_2} + {T_2} = 4{T_2} \Rightarrow {T_2} = \frac{{{T_0}}}{4}\)
and then T1 = 3T0/4
hence T1 > T2
So, maximum shear stress is developed due to T1
\(\frac{{{T_1}}}{J} = \frac{\tau _{max}}{r} \Rightarrow {\tau _{max}} = \frac{{{T_1}}}{J}r\)
\(\Rightarrow {\tau _{max}} = \frac{{\frac{{3{T_0}}}{4}}}{{\frac{\pi }{{32}}{d^4}}} \times \frac{d}{2} = \frac{{32 \times 3{T_0}}}{{8\pi \times {d^3}}} = \frac{{12{T_0}}}{{\pi {d^3}}}\)
Pure Torsion Question 10:
A shaft of 50 mm diameter and 0.7 m long is subjected to a torque of 1200 Nm. Calculate the shear stress.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Pure Torsion Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Equation of Pure torsion
\(\frac{T}{{{I_P}}} = \frac{τ }{r} = \frac{{Gθ }}{L}\) where,
T = Maximum torque, IP = Polar moment of inertia, τ = shear stress at any point at a distance r from center, G = Modulus of rigidity, θ = angle of twist in radians, R = radius of shaft
Considering the rigidity of shaft, The maximum shear stress induced in the solid shaft of diameter d, to transmit twisting moment T is given by,
\(\tau_{max}\;=\frac{{16T}}{{\pi d^3 }}\)
The maximum shear stress induced in the hollow shaft of outer diameter do and inner diameter di to transmit the twisting moment T.
\(\tau_{max}\;=\frac{{16T}}{{\pi d_o^3 (1-K^4)}}\), where K is the ratio of outer and inner diameter, \(K =\frac{{d_i}}{{d_o}}\)
Calculation:
Given:
d = 50 mm, L = 0.7 M, T = 1200 N-m
Maximum shear stress-induced, \(\tau_{max}\;=\frac{{16T}}{{\pi d^3 }}\)
⇒ \(\tau_{max}\;=\frac{{16~\times~1200~\times~1000}}{{\pi ~\times~50^3 }}~=~48.9~MPa\)
