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

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:

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

where

  • <tex>\tau</tex> ... shear stress
  • <tex>T</tex> ... applied torsion
  • <tex>T</tex>
