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.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tmax=14.5MPa

Tmin=10.3MPa

Explanation:

T = 600 * 0.15 = 90N.m

$T_max =\frac{T_c}{j} = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{90 \times 0.0175}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}$

=14.5MPa

$T_{min} =\frac{T_c}{j} = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{90 \times 0.0125}{\frac{\pi}{2} \times (0.0175^4-0.0125^4)}$

=10.3MPa
