5.1. Torsional deformation of circular shaft
Assume the circular shaft shown in the figure(a) with the circular grid
shown. If a torque is applied to the member as shown in figure (b) and
the deformation is assumed to be small then

TORSION FORMULA
Assumptions:
• Linear and elastic deformation
• Plane section remains plane and undistorted
If we assume that the torsion stress vary linearly from the inside to the
outside then max

Equilibrium
Draw a free-body diagram of the shaft in order to identify all the torques
that act on it. Then write the equations of moment equilibrium about
the axis of the shaft.
Compatibility
To write the compatibility equation, investigate the way the shaft will twist
when subjected to the external loads, and give consideration as to how
the supports constrain the shaft when it is twisted.

STATICALLY INDETERMINATE TORQUE-
LOADED MEMBERS
Solve the equilibrium and compatibility equations for the unknown reactive
torques. If any of the magnitudes have a negative numerical value, it
indicates that this torque acts in the opposite sense of direction to that
indicated on the free-body diagram.
