A 250 mm diameter solid shaft drives a screw propeller with an output of 7 MW.
When the forward speed of the vessel is 35 km/h the speed of revolution of the
propeller is 240 rev/min.
Find:
The maximum stress resulting from the torque.
(7 marks)
The axial compressive stress resulting from the thrust in the shaft. (7 marks)
Hence find for a point on the surface of the shaft:
(a) The principal stresses.
(6 marks)
(b) The direction of the principal planes relative to the shaft axis. (3 marks)
Show clearly by diagram the directions of the principal planes relative to the shaft
axis.
