    This document summarizes torsion testing methods. It discusses the theoretical background of torsion, different testing types including failure, proof, and operational testing. It describes the general testing procedure of attaching a sample between a stationary and rotating jaw and applying a torsional load. Data can be analyzed as shear stress-strain curves or other parameters depending on the test. Limitations include accurately measuring small angle changes, and adhesive limitations at high temperatures. Pros are that torsion testing specifically simulates twisted materials.
