    Given: Torque = 100 kN.m, bending moment = 200 kN.m, external diameter is twice internal diameter (d = 2 d1), maximum shear stress (τ) = 90 N/mm2

    Formula: 1) Maximum shear stress (τmax) = (√ M2 + T2 ) / (Zp )

    2) Polar sectional modulus (Zp )= π (d4 – di4) / (16 d)

    Solution:

    Maximum shear stress (τmax) = (√ M2 + T2 ) / (Zp)

    90 = [(√ 100 x 106)2 + (200 x 106 )2 ] / (Zp)

    (Zp) = 2484519.975 mm3


    2) Polar sectional modulus (Zp )= π (d4 – 0.5 d4) / (16 d)

    2484519.975 = π (d4 – (0.5 d4) / (16 d)

    2484519.975 = π (0.5 d4) / 16 d

    2484519.975 = (0.19634 x d4 ) / 16 d

    d = 587.1

    3) d1 = 0.5 d

    = 2 x 58.7.1 = 293.55 mm

    Internal diameter = 293.55 mm
