Question

The copper pipe has an outer diameter of 3 in. and an inner diameter of 2.5 in. If it is tightly secured to the wall at C and a uniformly distributed torque is applied to it as shown, determine the shear stress at points A and B. These points lie on the pipe’s outer surface. Sketch the shear stress on volume elements located at A and B.

Solution

Step 1 of 6

We start by finding the Torque at C, B and A. Taking the momentum equations (in inches not feet) we write for C:
