Mechanics of Materials II:: Thin-Walled Pressure Vessels and Torsion

The document discusses stresses on thin-walled pressure vessels and torsion. It specifically examines stresses in circular bars under torsion, noting that maximum tensile stresses occur on planes at a 45 degree angle. Brittle materials subjected to torsion, like chalk, will typically break along a 45 degree helical surface due to being weak in tension.

Chalk is strong in compression


and weak in tension.
Maximum tensile
stresses occur on a
plane at an angle of 45.

Therefore, chalk should break


on 45 helical surface.
This is typical for any brittle
material subject to torsion.
