Diagram shows a shaft A B with aluminum segment marked 1 of length 1,000 millimeters inside which is a brass shaft marked 2. Both the shafts are centered on the central axis x. A torque T is applied at B.

The shear stress in a shaft is given by the elastic torsion formula:

τ=TcJ

Using the values computed for T1 and T2, calculate the maximum shear stress in each shaft:

τ1=T1c1J1=(675.7 N-m)(25 mm)(1,000 mm/m)308,102 mm4  =54,83 MPa

τ2=T2c2J2=(724.3 N-m)(21 mm)(1,000 mm/m)225,968 mm4  =67,31 MPa
