A torsion-bar spring consists of a prismatic bar, usually of round cross section, that is twisted at one end and held fast at th

e other to form a stiff spring. An engineer needs a stiffer one than usual and so considers building in both ends and applying the torque somewhere in the central portion of the span, as shown in the figure. This effectively creates two springs in parallel.
The engineer is forced by geometric considerations to apply the torque on the spring at the location x = 0.37l. For a uniform-diameter spring, this would cause one leg of the span to be underutilized when both legs have the same diameter. For optimal design the diameter of each leg should be designed such that the maximum shear stress in each leg is the same Using x = 0.37l, l=10 in, T=1,500 lbf.in, and G = 10.4 Mpsi, design the spring such that the maximum shear stresses in each leg are equal and the spring will have the same spring rate (angle of twist) as a uniform-diameter bar with T=1,500 lbf in, x=1/2-5 in, and d1=d2=0.5
Find the required diameters of each leg:

Answer:

d₁ = 0.29 in

d₂ = 0.505 in

Explanation:

Given:

T = 1500 lbf in

L = 10 in

x = 0.5 L = 5 in

T_{1} =\frac{T(L-x)}{L} =\frac{1500*(10-5)}{10} =750lbfin

First case: T = T₁ + T₂

T₂ = T - T₁ = 1500 - 750 = 750 lbf in

If the shafts are in series:

θ = θ₁ + θ₂

θ = ((T₁ * L₁)/GJ) + ((T₂ * L₂)/GJ)

Second case: If d₁ ≠ d₂

θ = ((T₁ * L₁)/GJ₁) + ((T₂ * L₂)/GJ₂) = 0 (eq. 1)

t₁ = t₂

\frac{16T_{1} }{\pi d_{1}^{3}  } =\frac{16T_{2} }{\pi d_{2}^{3}  } (eq. 2)

T₁ + T₂ = 1500 (eq. 3)

θ₁ first case = θ₁ second case

Replacing:

\frac{750*5}{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*0.5^{4}  } =\frac{T_{1}*3.7 }{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*d_{1} ^{4}  }\\T_{1} =16216d_{1} ^{4}

The same way to θ₂:

\frac{750*5}{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*0.5^{4}  } =\frac{T_{2}*6.3 }{G(\frac{\pi }{32})*d_{2} ^{4}  } \\T_{2} =9523.8d_{2} ^{4}

From equation 2, we have:

d₁ = 0.587 * d₂

From equation 3, we have:

d₂ = 0.505 in

d₁ = 0.29 in

A car of mass 1535 kg collides head-on with a parked truck of mass 2000 kg. Spring mounted bumpers ensure that the collision is essentially elastic. If the velocity of the truck is 17 km/h (in the same direction as the car's initial velocity) after the collision, what was the initial speed of the car <u>20kmh</u>

<h3>What is collision ?</h3>

A collision in physics is any situation in which two or more bodies quickly exert forces on one another. Despite the fact that the most common usage of the word "collision" refers to situations in which two or more objects clash violently, the scientific usage of the word makes no such assumptions.

The following are a few instances of physical encounters that scientists might classify as collisions:

  • Legs of an insect are said to collide with a leaf when it falls on one.
  • Every contact of a cat's paws with the ground while it strides across a lawn is seen as a collision, as is every brush of its fur with a blade of grass.
