Shear Stress in Hollow Cylinder

Description

Determine the shear stress in a hollow concentric cylinder fixed at one end and subjected to a torque of 10 lb-in at the other end. The inner and outer radii of the cylinder are 1" and 1.5" respectively and the length of the cylinder is 12".

Solid mesh.

Material Properties

Alloy Steel.

Results

Analytical Solution

I_p = π/2*(r_out⁴- r_in⁴)

T = torque

TYZ_max = T * r_out / I_p
