The composite shaft shown consists of a solid brass segment (1) and a solid aluminum segment (2) that are connected at flange B and securely attached to rigid walls at A and C. Brass segment (1) has a diameter of 18 mm, a length of L₁ 235 mm, and a shear modulus of 39 GPa. Aluminum segment (2) has a diameter of 24 mm, a length of L2 = 165 mm, and a shear modulus of 28 GPa. If a concentrated torque of 270 N-m is applied to flange B, determine (a) the maximum shear stress magnitudes in segments (1) and (2). (b) the rotation angle of flange B relative to support A. z 235 mm (1) B 165 mm 270 N-m (2)

Composite construction is the construction of structures in which two or more materials are used. Regarding structural engineering, composite construction is a construction where two materials are bound together in a technical manner such that both the m…
