TORSION
INTRODUCTION
Torsion, from the word itself means rotation or twisting. It is another condition of
shearing is when we twist a bar along its longitudinal axis. This chapter will introduce
the derivation and application of torsion problems.
If a torque T is applied at the ends of a circular shaft, a fibre AB on the outside
surface which is originally straight, will be twisted into a helix AC as the shaft is twisted
through the angle .

PROBLEMS:
1. The steel shaft shown in Fig. P-314 rotates at 4 Hz with 35 kW taken off at A, 20 kW
removed at B, and 55 kW applied at C. Using G = 83 GPa, find the maximum shearing
stress and the angle of rotation of gear A relative to gear C.
2. The compound shaft shown in Fig. P-319 is attached to rigid supports. For the bronze
segment AB, the diameter is 75 mm, 60 MPa, and G = 35 GPa. For the steel
segment BC, the diameter is 50 mm, 80 MPa, and G = 83 GPa. If a = 2 m and b =

Chapter 3: Torsion
3. A torque T is applied, as shown in Fig. P-321, to a solid shaft with built-in ends. Prove

4. A solid steel shaft is loaded as shown in Fig. P-322. Using G = 83 GPa, determine
the required diameter of the shaft if the shearing stress is limited to 60 MPa and the

4. In a rivet group subjected to a twisting couple T, show that the torsion formula =
T/J can be used to find the shearing stress at the center of any rivet. Let J = A2,
where A is the area of a rivet at the radial distance from the centroid of the rivet group.
