    This document discusses torsion of circular sections, specifically bars under twisting loads. It introduces torsion as applying equal and opposite torques to the ends of a bar, creating shear stresses and strains. The document then lists the assumptions made in the pure torsion model: the material is homogeneous and isotropic, obeys Hooke's law, cross-sections remain plane during twisting, and radial lines and uniform twisting are maintained along the length. Key variables are defined for torque, shear stress, angle of twist, shear modulus, and polar moment of inertia.

    Torsion of Circular Sections

    Introduction
    A bar is said to be torsion, when equal and opposite torques are
    applied at the two ends. The torque is equal to the product of the
    force applied and radius of the bar. This is called twisting moment. This
    causes the shear stresses and shear strains in the material of the bar.

    Assumptions made in pure torsion


     The material is homogeneous and isotropic
     Obeys Hooke’s law ( Shear stress developed is proportional to
    shear strain)
     Cross sections which are plane before applying twisting moment
    remain plane will remain plane even after applying twisting
    moment.
     Radial lines will remain radial even after applying torque.
     The twisting along the shaft length is uniform.
    L - Bar Length in m
    R – Radius in m
    T – Torque N-m
    τ – Shear stress Pa
    Θ – Angle of twist in radians
    G – Shear modulus Pa
    J – Polar moment of inertia mm4
