,Objective
⚫ In this topic we will discuss the effects of applying
a torsional loading to a long straight member such
as a shaft or tube.
⚫ We will discuss how to determine the stress
distribution within the member and the angle of
twist.

, 5.1 Torsional Deformation of a Circular Shaft
⚫ Torque is a moment that tends to twist a
member about its longitudinal axis.
