MecMovies 4.0 : M6.6: Twisting of a Compound Torsion Member

scene 5 of 7

Diagram shows a shaft with brass segment A B of length 1800 millimeters which is connected to aluminum segment B C of length 800 millimeter using a flange at B and a torque T of 50 Newton meter is applied on C. The x axis is taken along the axis of the cylinders and the y axis is taken along the rigid support at A and perpendicular to the x axis.

The rotation angle of $C$ relative to support $A$ is the sum of the angles of twist in segments $(1)$ and $(2)$ :

$ϕ_{C} = ϕ_{1} + ϕ_{2}$
