Question

The link acts as part of the elevator control for a small airplane. If the attached aluminum tube has an inner diameter of 25 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm, determine the maximum shear stress in the tube when the cable force of 600 N is applied to the cables. Also, sketch the shear-stress distribution over the cross section.

Solution

Step 1 of 5

Calculate the outer radius of the tube.

\(r_{0}=\frac{d_{i}}{2}+t\)

Here, \(d_i\) is the inner diameter of the tube, and t is the thickness of the tube.

Substitute 25 mm for \(d_i\) and 5 mm for t.

\(\begin{aligned} r_{0} & =\frac{25}{2}+5 \\ & =17.5\ \mathrm{mm} \end{aligned}\)

Find the inner radius of the tube.

\(r_{i}=\frac{d_{i}}{2}\)

Substitute 25 mm for \(d_i\).

\(\begin{aligned} r_{i} & =\frac{25}{2} \\ & =12.5\ \mathrm{mm} \end{aligned}\)
