A solid circular shaft is subjected to bending moment and torsional moment. What is the nature of maximum principal stress at the outer surface?
Show Hint
For shafts under combined loading, the equivalent bending moment ($M_e$) used in design is:
$M_e = \frac{1}{2} [ M + \sqrt{M^2 + T^2} ]$. This directly relates to the maximum principal stress.
