Question
A hollow circular shaft of inner radius 10 mm, outer radius 20 mm and length 1 m is to be used as a torsional spring. If the shear modulus of the material of the shaft is 150 GPa, the torsional stiffness of the shaft (in kN-m/rad) is ________ (correct to two decimal places).
Answer :
Torsional stiffness = GIP/L
= 150*109*π*[0.044-0.024]/1*32
= 35343 Nm/rad
= 35.343kNm/rad
