When designing a hollow circular drive shaft, what is the allowable shear stress in the shaft? How does the allowable shear stress relate to UTS or yield strength of the material (in this case 304 S/S)? Is it correct to say that the allowable shear stress is independant of cross section because it is a material property?
Background:
We had a drive shaft fail and I am trying to work out the allowable torques in some components of the drive system to make sure that all components are matched correctly, but need the allowable shear stresses to do this.
Thanks.
