The twist or deformation of a body set up by a torque.

Torsion Theories

Torsion of Solid Sections

Torsion of Closed Thin-Walled Sections

Shear stress due to torsion in a thin-walled noncircular shell can be calculated as follows (Lindeburg 2003):

<tex>\tau = \frac{T}{2At}</tex>

where

  • <tex>\tau</tex> ... shear stress
  • <tex>T</tex> ... applied torsion
  • <tex>A</tex> ... area enclosed by the centerline of the shell
  • <tex>t</tex> ... sheel thickness
