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).
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?
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 long, thin-walled tapered tube AB with a circular cross section (see figure) is subjected to a torque T. The tube has length L and constant wall thickness t. The diameter to the median lines of the cross sections at the ends A and B are dAand dB, respectively. Derive the following formula for the angle of twist of the tube: Hint: If the angle of taper is small, you may obtain approximate results by applying the formulas for a thin-walled prismatic tube to a differential element of the tapered tube and then integrating along the axis of the tube.
