Calculation of a rod of a circular cross section for strength. |
Strength analysis is performed using the torsional strength condition. |
Firstly, it is necessary by calculation to determine the maximum shear stresses arising in a dangerous cross section. This calculation is made according to the formula: |
![]() |
You must first determine the maximum torque M kr arising from the action of an external load. |
Torque M kr characterizes the level of internal forces arising in the rod and counterbalancing the external load |
The greater the value of M kr , the higher the level of internal forces arising in the rod. |
The strength of the rod will determine the cross-section of the rod, in which the torque M kr has the maximum value. |
The dimension of torque - M kr : kgms, kgm, Nm, kNm, etc. |
After determining the maximum torque value, it is necessary to determine the cross-section characteristic, which determines the strength of a round rod in torsion, which is called the polar moment of resistance and is denoted by W p . |
Thus, the maximum shear stresses are determined. ![]() |
To solve the problem, it is still necessary to know the allowable stresses. ![]() ![]() |
This is determined using the torsional strength condition. |
![]() |
Thus, by comparing the maximum stresses arising in a dangerous section of a rod of circular cross-section ![]() ![]() |
Using the strength condition, it is possible to solve two problems: |
