(Flanged Bolt & Coupling)
FLANGED BOLT COUPLINGS
In shaft connection called flanged bolt couplings (see
figure below), the torque is transmitted by the shearing
force P created in the bolts that is assumed to be
uniformly distributed.
For any number of bolts n, the Torque capacity of the
coupling is
Where:
T = Torque capacity
P = Shearing Force in the bolts
n = number of bolts
d = diameter of the bolts
R = radius (distance of the bolts from the
FLANGED BOLT COUPLINGS
For a coupling with two concentric rows of bolts:
Where:
= The subscript 1 refer to
bolts on the outer circle
= The subscript 2 refer to
bolts on the inner circle.
FLANGED BOLT COUPLINGS
For rigid flanges, the shear deformations in the bolts
are proportional to their radial distances from the
shaft axis.
So, the shearing strains are related by:
Where:
R1 & R2 = Radius of inner and outer circles
respectively
γ1 & γ2 =Shearing Strains
= The subscript 1 refer to bolts on the outer

For rigid Using Hooke's law for shear, G = τ / γ, we
have, the shear deformations in the bolts are
proportional to their radial distances from the shaft
axis.
The shearing strains are related by
If the bolts on the two circles have the same area, A1 =
A2, and if the bolts are made of the same material, G1 =
G2, the relation between P1 and P2 reduces to

Torsion of Thin-Walled Tubes
- Torque applied to thin-walled tubes.
Formula:
Where:
T = is the torque in N-mm,
A = is the area enclosed by the centerline of
the tube (as shown in the stripe-filled
portion) in mm2,
q = is the shear flow in N/mm.
Torsion of Thin-Walled Tubes
- Torque applied to thin-walled tubes.
Additional Formula:
The average shearing
stress across any thickness
t is
So, torque T can also be
expressed as
q = T /2A
Torsion of Thin-Walled Tubes
Example 1:
A torque of 600 N-m is applied to the rectangular
section shown in the figure below. Determine the wall
thickness t so as not to exceed a shear stress of 80
MPa. What is the shear stress in the short sides?
Neglect stress concentration at the corners
Given:
T = 600 N.m
τ = 80MPa = 80 N/mm2
Req’d:
t = thickness
τ @ the short
sides
Torsion of Thin-Walled Tubes
Example 1:
A torque of 600 N·m is applied to the rectangular section shown
in the figure below. Determine the wall thickness t so as not to
exceed a shear stress of 80 MPa. What is the shear stress in the
short sides? Neglect stress concentration at the corners
Solution:
T = 2Atτ
where:
T = 600N⋅m =
600,000N⋅mm
A = 30(80) = 2400mm2
τ = 80MPa = 80 N / mm2
Thus:
600,000 = 2(2400)(t)(80)
t = 1.5625 mm

Torsion of Thin-Walled Tubes
Example 1:
A torque of 600 N-m is applied to the rectangular section shown
in the figure below. Determine the wall thickness t so as not to
exceed a shear stress of 80 MPa. What is the shear stress in the
short sides? Neglect stress concentration at the corners
Solution:
At any convenient center, O
within the section, the
farthest side is the shorter
one, thus, it is induced
with the maximum
allowable shear stress of
80 MPa.

Example 2:
A tube, 2 mm thick has the shape shown in the figure
below. Find the shearing stress caused by a torque of
600 N-m.
Solution:
T = 2Atτ
Where:
A = π(10)2 + 80(20)
= 1,914.16 mm2
t = 2 mm
T = 600 N-m
= 600,000 N-mm
So:
