TORSION OF SHAFTS CLASS NOTES FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
TORSION OF SHAFTS CLASS NOTES FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Shafts transmit power. These are subjected to torsion and hence to shear stress. But due to self weight, weight of flywheel/pulley, shafts are subjected to bending. The shaft is in rotation, there comes reversal of stresses. It causes fatigue. Fatigue reduces the strength of shaft. Maximum failure…
