Example
Using a wrench to tighten a nut in a bolt.
If the bolt, wrench and force are all perpendicular to one another, the
moment is the force F times the length of the wrench.
Simple torque : T = F * l
Torsion
Torsion is the twisting of a straight bar when it is loaded by twisting moments
or torques that tend to produce rotation about the longitudinal axes of the bar.
For instance, when we turn a screw driver to produce torsion our hand applies
torque ‘T’ to the handle and twists the shank of the screw driver.
Bars subjected to Torsion
Let us now consider a straight bar
supported at one end and acted upon
by two pairs of equal and opposite
forces.
T1 P1 d1 T2 P2 d 2
Torsion
The moments that produce twisting of bar, such as T1 and T2 are called torques
or twisting moments.
The moments are indicated by the right hand rule for moment vectors,
which states that if the fingers curl in the direction of the moments then the
direction of the thumb represents the direction of vector.
Torsional Loads on Circular Shafts
G
G is shear modulus of elasticity
is shear strain
From Shear Strain equation : max r r
L
Shear Stress at the outer surface of Shear Stresses in cylindrical bar with
the bar : circular cross section.
maxG r
Torsion Formula : To determine the
relation between shear stresses and
torque, torsional formula is to be
accomplished.
Torsional Formula
Since the stresses act continously they have a
resultant in the form of moment.
Solution
TL 250*12*54
GI p 11.5*106
Stress and Strain Analysis
A shaft of circular cross section subjected to torques at opposite ends is
considered .
A point in the cross section at the coordinate x3 will be rotated at an angle
x3
The displacements are given by u1 x2 x3 , u2 x1 x3
and u3 0 .Since is zero in x3 direction.

Conclusion
The equations derived in this section are limited to bars of circular cross
section solid that behave in linear elastic manner or loads must be such that
the stresses do not exceed the proportional limit of the material.
It can be emphasized that the equations for the torsion of circular cylinder
cannot be used for non circular bars.
