"Look at Equation 3-6," Dr. Vance pointed. Leo read aloud:

[ \phi = \fracTLJG ]

"New shaft diameter: 94 mm," Leo said. The replacement shaft—94 mm solid steel—was installed by 5:30 AM. As the sun rose over the SS Resilient , Leo looked at the Chapter 3 solutions in his textbook. They weren't just answers to odd-numbered problems. They were a map of how materials behave when twisted—elastically at first, then plastically, then fatally.

Where (G) is the shear modulus of elasticity (77 GPa for steel), and (L) is the length of the shaft (2.5 m).

"Material spec says yield shear strength is 60 MPa," Leo said. "We're below yield. So why did it fail?" "Because you didn't check the angle of twist ," Dr. Vance said. "Turn to Equation 3-15." "Look at Equation 3-6," Dr

"2.4 degrees of twist over 2.5 meters is acceptable," Leo said.

[ \tau_max = \fracTcJ ]

Leo solved: [ d = \sqrt[3]\frac16T\pi \tau_allow ] [ d = \sqrt[3]\frac16(4000)\pi (24\times10^6) = 0.094 \text m \approx 94 \text mm ]
