Question 60
AENAT2 marksNeeds review
Two designs A and B, shown in the figure, are proposed for a thin-walled closed section that is expected to carry only torque. Both A and B have a semi-circular nose and are made of the same material with a wall thickness of 1 mm. With strength as the only criterion for failure, the ratio of maximum torque that B can support to the maximum torque that A can support is__ (rounded off to two decimal places).
