A hollow cylindrical shaft of length L, mean radius cm, and uniform thickness t is subjected to a torque of magnitude T. Consider, on the one hand, the values of the average shearing stress τave and the angle of twist ϕ obtained from the elastic torsion formulas developed in Secs. 3.1C and 3.2 and, on the other hand, the corresponding values obtained from the formulas developed in Sec. 3.10 for thin-walled shafts, (a) Show that the relative error introduced by using the thin-walled-shaft formulas rather than the elastic torsion formulas is the same for τave and ϕ and that the relative error is positive and proportional to the ratio t/cm·(b) Compare the percent error corresponding to values of the ratio t/cm of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4.
