Shafts - Interview Questions
What are shafts?
Shafts are mechanical components used for transmitting power through their rotational motion. Shafts are usually circular is in cross-section, and are subjected to torsional shear stresses within this cross-section.
How do you measure the strength of shafts?
Strength of shafts are measured by the maximum torque or power transmitted by the shaft.
How do you define the power of shafts?
Power of shaft is defined as the rotational work done per second. Rotational power is the product of torque and angular velocity.
What is torsional rigidity?
The minimum force required to deform a shaft by twisting through a nunit dimension is called torsional rigidity.
