22. Question 1
The chapter delves into solving problems related to extension, torsion, and inflation in solid mechanics, emphasizing the importance of understanding torque and shear conditions in composite shafts. It specifically illustrates the behavior of a clamped cylinder and a composite shaft under varying conditions, with derivations leading to the effective calculation of shear stress and strain in materials. Through analytical approaches, it clarifies the relationships between torque, material properties, and geometric configurations in mechanical systems.
