Step-by-step solution
5 stepsIdentify given parameters and relationships.
The given parameters are:
- Inner diameter of bronze sleeve (and outer diameter of steel shaft), .
- Torque carried by bronze sleeve .
- Shear modulus of steel .
- Maximum allowable shear stress in steel .
- Maximum allowable shear stress in bronze .
- Rotation speed .
Calculate the outside diameter of the sleeve ().
For a compound shaft, the angle of twist per unit length () is the same for both components:
Substitute the given relationships and :
The polar moment of inertia for a solid shaft is . For a hollow shaft, .
For the steel shaft (solid): .
For the bronze sleeve (hollow): .
Substitute these into :Since :
Substitute :
The outside diameter of the sleeve is .
Determine the limiting shear stress and calculate individual torques.
The shear stress in a shaft is given by . For the maximum stress, is the outermost radius.
For the steel shaft: .
For the bronze sleeve: .
From Step 2, we know , , and .
Let's find the ratio of the stresses:Substitute the relationships:
So, .
Now, check which material limits the torque:- If , then . This is less than , so it is acceptable.
- If , then . This is greater than , so it is not acceptable. Therefore, the maximum torque is limited by the steel shaft reaching its maximum allowable shear stress, .
Calculate the torque carried by the steel shaft ():
Calculate the torque carried by the bronze sleeve ():
Calculate the total torque that may be transmitted ().
The total torque is the sum of the torques carried by each component:
The torque that may be transmitted is .
Calculate the power transmitted.
First, convert the rotation speed from r/min to rad/s:
The angular velocity is:
The power transmitted is given by :
The power transmitted is .
