Torsion of Shafts
Shafts are structural members with length significantly greater than
the largest cross-sectional dimension used in transmitting torque from
one plane to another.
Learning objectives
Understand the theory, its limitations and its applications for design
and analysis of Torsion of circular shafts.
Develop the discipline to visualize direction of torsional shear stress
and the surface on which it acts.

Three pairs of bars are symmetrically attached to rigid discs at
the radii shown. The discs were observed to rotate by angles 1 = 1.5 ,
2 = 3.0 , and 3 = 2.5 in the direction of the applied torques T1, T2,
and T3 respectively. The shear modulus of the bars is 40 ksi and the area

Torque Diagram
A torque force diagram is a plot of internal torque T vs. x
Internal torque jumps by the value of the external torque as one
crosses the external torque from left to right.
An torsion template is used to determine the direction of the jump in T.
A template is a free body diagram of a small segment of a shaft created
by making an imaginary cut just before and just after the section where
the external torque is applied.
