Question

Describe the noncircular shafts?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The non-circular shafts are ones that do not have a circular profile and the shear stress for the corresponding shaft cannot be solved using traditional torsional theory for circular shaft. When torque is applied to the non-circular shafts, the plane cross sections are distorted and also warping of the shaft takes place.
