GregLocock, to all my recollection I thought the same thing but made the inquiry because I stumbled upon a lecture that gave an equation for it in a relevant problem.
That process was to calculate J with the equation [(2)(b^2)(h^2)(t1)(t2)] / [(b)(t1) + (h)(t2)] and from there use Ƭ = Tc / J...
Salutations,
I’m taking a box bracket made out of a rectangular steel tube used to mount butterfly valves to actuators and am trying to find out if I can preemptively calculate the maximum allowable torque the bracket will withstand before it fails.
My approach thus far is to use the equation...
