Topic 3- Torsionally Loaded Structures

The first example is a simple torsionally loaded bar, analyzed using the basic torsion load/deformation equation:

Next we have a problem which demonstrates why hollow bars are more efficient at carrying torsional loads:



The following example demonstrates the use of the stepwise equation:


The following problem is an example of power translation:


The following is an indeterminate torsionally loaded example:
