We use the torsion formula for solid circular shafts to determine the minimum diameter required to ensure the shear stress does not exceed a specified limit during torque transmission.
Given:
- Maximum allowable shear stress,
- Torque transmitted,
Step 1: Recall the torsion formula
The shear stress in a solid shaft is given by:
where
Step 2: Rearrange the formula to solve for diameter
Step 3: Substitute the given values
Step 4: Calculate the diameter
