Q 1.
The copper pipe has an outer diameter of 40 mm and an inner diameter of 37 mm. If it is
tightly secured to the wall at A and three torques are applied to it as shown, determine the absolute
maximum shear stress developed in the pipe.

Internal torques:
TCD=80 N.m;
TBC=60 N.m;
TAB=90 N.m
Absolute maximum shear stress is observed at the outer radius (co=20 mm) of the part where internal
torque is highest (part AB)
Absolute max. torsional shear stress:

Q 2.
The assembly shown is composed of a steel cylinder rod (AB) with a diameter of 25 mm
and aluminum rod (BC) with a diameter of 50 mm. The lengths of members AB and BC are 1000
and 500 mm, respectively. Also, member ADE is rigidly connected to this assembly at A. There is
a distributed loading between D and E with a value of 1 kN/m.
a. Determine the absolute maximum torsional shear stresses on steel member AB and aluminum
(25 p) member BC. Also find the total angle of twist of the assembly. (G =76 GPa, G =25 GPa)

b. The ultimate tensile strength (failure stress in tension) of steel and aluminum are given as 400
(25 p) and 300 MPa, respectively. It is also known that the ultimate shear strength (failure stresss in
shear) of both steel and aluminum may be assumed as 60% of the ultimate tensile strength of
both metals. If the factor of safety (F.S.) for both materials is given as 1.5, check the safety of
these steel and aluminum members considering only torsion.
Note: There is a rigid connection between all members and at support C.

Minus sign indicates the twist is in the direction such that the right hand thumb directs inward to
the members.
