Diagram shows an aluminum shaft A B with a support at A, marked 1 of length 1,500 millimeters and a brass shaft B C with a support at C, marked 2 of length 1,000 millimeters with a flange in between at B. The shafts are centered on the x axis. A torque T is applied at B.

Equilibrium equation

T1-T2=T=1,000  N-m

Compatibility equation

T1L1J1G1+T2L2J2G2=0 

For shaft (1):

L1 =1,500 mmG1=75 GPa=75,000 N/mm2J1 =362,265 mm4

For shaft (2):

L2 =1,000 mmG2=40 GPa=40,000 N/mm2J2 =613,592 mm4

Substituting these values, the equilibrium and compatibility equations can be solved simultaneously to obtain:

T1 =424.63 N-m     T2=-575.37 N-m
