Values for calculation

$ T $ $ \mathrm{Nm} $
$ r $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ D $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ d $ $ \mathrm{mm} $

Calculation

Coefficient $ C_1 $

$$C_1=-35.16+67.57\cdot\left(D/d\right)-31.28\cdot\left(D/d\right)^2$$

Coefficient $ C_2 $

$$C_2=79.13-148.37\cdot\left(D/d\right)+69.09\cdot\left(D/d\right)^2$$

Coefficient $ C_3 $

$$C_3=-50.34+94.67\cdot\left(D/d\right)-44.26\cdot\left(D/d\right)^2$$

Stress concentration factor for shear stress

$$K_{ts}=C_1+C_2\cdot\left(r/d\right)+C_3\cdot\left(r/d\right)^2$$

Nominal or reference shear stress

$$τ_{nom}=\cfrac{16\cdot T\cdot 10^3}{π\cdot d^3}$$

Maximum shear stress

$$τ_{max}=K_{ts}\cdot τ_{nom}$$
