Stress and Deformation Analysis of Linear Elastic Bars in Torsion

This document discusses stress and deformation analysis of linear elastic bars subjected to torsional loads. Typical examples of bars that experience torsion include shafts in engines and turbines. Torsional loads cause twisting of the bars and induce internal torsional stresses. If these stresses exceed the material's shear strength, failure will occur. The document also notes that excessive twisting may occur due to torsional loads.

Chapter 12

STRESS AND DEFORMATION ANALYSIS OF LINEAR ELASTIC BARS IN TORSION


12.1 Introduction

In Chapter 11, the analysis of long bars subjected only to axial loads was considered. We now consider similar bars but subjected to torsional loads that cause twisting of the bar about its axis. Typical examples include shafts in engines, turbines, torque converters, transmissions, electric motors and similar devices.

Figure 12.1: PT6-A Turbine Engine Simple tools like a screwdriver develop a torsional stress and twist of the screwdriver when a screw is driven into wood; likewise a wrench applied to the head of a bolt applies a torque to the bolt which causes twisting of the bolt and internal torsional stresses. When these torsional stresses exceed the shear strength of the material, failure will occur. In addition, the torsional load may induce twisting of the shaft that is excessive. 267
