Problem 2.7 Elastoplastic Torsion (a) A circular shaft is subjected to a torque T .

. Define any additional parameter(s) required and derive an expression for the angle of twist of the shaft, as a function of the applied torque. (b) A shaft of radius 25mm transmits a torque of 20kN.m .

i) Calculate its rate of twist. ii) Find the maximum residual stress on unloading the shaft. iii) What is the residual rate of twist after unloading the shaft? Take G = 103.5 GPa and Y = 689.5 MPa .
