Objectives

• The effects of applying a torsional loading to a long straight member such as shaft or tube.

• To determine both stress distribution within the member and the angle of twist when the material behaves in a linear elastic manner and also when it isbehaves in a linear-elastic manner and also when it is inelastic.

Due to axial distribution of shearstress shafts made from woodstress, shafts made from woodtend to split along the axial planewhen subjected to excessivetorque

• Distribution of shearing stresses is staticallyindeterminate – must consider shaft deformations

• Unlike the normal stress due to axial loads, thedistribution of shearing stresses due to torsionalloads can not be assumed uniform.
