Question
Consider the shaft as shown in Fig. 20 and assume that the shaft has constant tor-
sional rigidity GJ. For the following loading conditions, (i) nd the angle of twist function phi(x)
and sketch the curve phi(x); (ii) sketch the internal torque function T(x), find the maximum internal
torque Tmax (absolute value), and identify the points achieving the maximum torque Tmax (absolute
value).
1. The point torques Ta = Tb = 0, the distributed load t(x) = 0, and TL > 0.
2. The point loads Ta = 0, the distributed load t(x) = 0, and TL; Tb > 0.
3. The point loads Ta = Tb = TL = 0 and the distributed load t(x) = t0; where t0 > 0 is a
constant.
4. The point loads Ta = Tb = TL = 0 and the distributed load t(x) = t0x=L, where t0 > 0 is a
constant.
