SALIENT POINTS
  • A member is considered to be under torsion if it transmits the moments of a couple in a direction normal to the plane of the couple.
  • Torsion is one of the four basic modes by which loads are transmitted from one portion of a structural or machine member to another.
  • The intensity of shear stress induced at any point in the cross section of a circular shaft subjected to a couple is proportional to its distance from the centre.
  • The maximum torque or horse power that can be transmitted by a shaft is referred to as the strength of a shaft.
  • Torque required for unit twist is called the torsional stiffness.
  • The quantity (GIp)/l is known as the torsional rigidity and is represented by k, where G is the rigidity modulus, Ip is the polar ...
