Q.1

A bar with an L-section (as shown in Fig) is subjected to pure torsion with equal and opposite
torsional moment T at the ends such that the bar is in equilibrium. There are no end-restraints
applied on the bar. Ignore the higher order effects. If T = 1000 MPa, the maximum shear stress is

Q.6

A bar with a channel (C) cross-section (as shown in Fig) is subjected to pure torsion with equal and
opposite torsional moments at the ends such that the bar is in equilibrium. There are no end-
restraints applied on the bar. Consider an arbitrary point P located, say, at the mid-span of the bar
(Z-axis) and in the web of the C-section (X & Y axes as shown in Fig). Then, as per the
assumptions for torsion problems discussed in class, the stress state at B is such that the following
