Chapter 4: Torsion

Chapter overview

We’ve looked at torsion back in Solid Mechanics I. Torsion is basically the stress that forms due to torque. Here we’ll be looking at:

• C4.1 Statically Indeterminate Analysis with Torque - more complex scenarios of indeterminate torque-loaded members
• C4.2 Thin-Walled Tubes with Closed Cross-Sections - calculating the shear stress and angle of twist for thin-walled tubes
