• Distribution of shearing stresses is statically indeterminate – must consider shaft deformations
• Unlike the normal stress due to axial loads, the distribution of shearing stresses due to torsional l d t b d if

loads can not be assumed uniform.
MECHANICS OF MATERIALSAxial Shear Components
• Torque applied to shaft produces shearing stresses on the faces perpendicular to the
iaxis.
• Conditions of equilibrium require the existence of equal stresses on the faces of the
• The existence of the axial shear components is
existence of equal stresses on the faces of the two planes containing the axis of the shaft
The existence of the axial shear components is demonstrated by considering a shaft made up of axial slats.
The slats slide with respect to each other when equal and opposite torques are applied to the ends of the shaft.

MECHANICS OF MATERIALSShearing Strain
• Consider an interior section of the shaft. As a torsional load is applied, an element on the i t i li d d f i t h binterior cylinder deforms into a rhombus.
• Since the ends of the element remain planar, the shear strain is equal to angle of twist
