12.2. Theoretical Development For Torsion of A Bar

The document discusses the theoretical development for torsion of a circular bar. It considers a long, slender circular bar subjected to both concentrated and distributed torque loads. The analysis developed will be simplified due to restricting the cross-section to a circular shape. Both solid circular and circular tube cross-sections are considered.

Theoretical Development for Torsion of a Bar

Consider a long, slender bar with a circular cross-section that is subjected to torsion by applied concentrated and distributed torques as shown below. The x-axis is placed at the centroid of the cross-section.

Figure 12.4: Circular Bar Subjected to Torque Loading The cross-section may be either a solid circular section or a circular tube. The restriction to a circular cross-section is due to the simplied analysis that will be developed herein. An applied torque with a counterclockwise action is considered positive (such as the torque applied at the right end of the bar in Figure 12.4); and such a torque would have a moment (torque) vector pointed in the positive x direction when following the usual right-hand rule. Consider now a section of a bar that has a constant internal torque about the x-axis. An example might be a bar that is xed at its left end and has a torque T applied at its right end as shown below. Cut the shaft as some point x and assume the internal torque is Mt (x).
