Torsion
3- 3
Introduction
Torque is a moment that twists a member
about its longitudinal axis.
If the angle of rotation is small, the length of
the shaft and its radius will remain
unchanged

THE
TORSION
FORMULA
Solid shaft
J can be determined using area element in the form
of a differential ring or annulus having thickness d
and circumference 2 .
For this ring, dA = 2 d
Tubular shaft

L
= angle of twist
T(x) = internal torque
J(x) = shafts polar moment of inertia
G = shear modulus of elasticity for
the material
Sign convention is
determined by right hand rule,

Example 4
The shaft is supported by two bearings and is subjected to
three torques. Determine the shear stress developed at
points A and B, located at 75 mm as outer diam and 15
mm as inner diam respectively.

Example 5
The two solid steel shafts are coupled together using the
meshed gears. Determine the angle of twist of end A of shaft AB
when the torque 45 Nm is applied. Take G to be 80 GPa. Shaft
AB is free to rotate within bearings E and F, whereas shaft DC
is fixed at D. Each shaft has a diameter of 20 mm.
