Find the diameter of a solid steel shaft to transmit 30 kW at 400 r.p.m. The ultimate shear stress for the steel may be taken as 460 MPa and a factor of safety as 8. If a hollow shaft is to be used in place of the solid shaft, find the inside and outside diameter when the ratio of inside to outside diameters is 0.5

The stepped shaft shown in the figure is required to transmit 600 kW of power at 400 rpm. The shaft has a full quarter-circular fillet, and the smaller diameter D1= 100 mm. If the allowable shear stress at the stress concentration is 100 MPa, at what diameter will this stress be reached? Is this diameter an upper or a lower limit on the value of D2?
A tubular shaft being designed for use on a construction site must transmit 120 kW at 1,75 Hz, The inside diameter of the shaft is to be one-half of the outside diameter. If the allowable shear stress in the shaft is 45 MPa, what is the minimum required outside diameter d?
A thin-walled rectangular tube has uniform thickness t and dimensions a x b to the median line of the cross section (see figure). How does the shear stress in the tube vary with the ratio = a/b if the total length Lmof the median line of the cross section and the torque T remain constant? From your results, show that the shear stress is smallest when the tube is square (ß = 1).
A propeller shaft for a small yacht is made of a solid steel bar 104 mm in diameter. The allowable stress in shear is 48 MPa, and the allowable rate of twist is 2.0° in 3.5 meters.

(b) Repeat part (a) if the shaft is now hollow with an inner diameter of 5d18. Compare values to corresponding values from part (a).
What is the maximum power that can be delivered by a hollow propeller shaft (outside diameter 50 mm, inside diameter 40 mm, and shear modulus of elasticity 80 GPa) turning at 600 rpm if the allowable shear stress is 100 MPa and the allowable rate of twist is 3.0°/m?
A thin tubular shaft with a circular cross section (see figure) and with inside diameter 100 mm is subjected to a torque of 5000 N · m. If the allowable shear stress is 42 MPa, determine the required wall thickness t by using (a) the approximate theory for a thin-walled tube and (b) the exact torsion theory for a circular bar.
A motor driving a solid circular steel shaft with diameter d = 1.5 in, transmits 50 hp to a gear at B, The allowable shear stress in the steel is 6000 psi. Calculate the required speed of rotation (number of revolutions per minute) so that the shear stress in the shaft does not exceed the allowable limit.
The propeller shaft of a large ship has an outside diameter 18 in. and inside diameter 12 in,, as shown in the figure. The shaft is rated for a maximum shear stress of 4500 psi. If the shaft is turning at 100 rpm, what is the maximum horsepower that can be transmitted without exceeding the allowable stress? If the rotational speed of the shaft is doubled but the power requirements remain unchanged, what happens to the shear stress in the shaft?
A steel punch consists of two shafts: upper shaft and lower shaft. Assume that the upper shaft has a diameter d1= 24 mm and the bottom shaft has a diameter d2= 16 mm. The punch is used to insert a hole in a 4 mm plate, as shown in the figure. If a force P - 70 kN is required to create the hole, what is the average shear stress in the plate and the average compressive stress in the upper and lower shaft of the punch?
The hollow drill pipe for an oil well (sec figure) is 6,2 in. in outer diameter and 0.75 in. in thickness.
