Torsion
Consider a bar to be rigidly attached at one end and twisted at the other end by a torque or twisting
moment T equivalent to F × d, which is applied perpendicular to the axis of the bar, as shown in the figure.
Such a bar is said to be in torsion.
Torsional Shearing Stress, τ
For a solid or hollow circular shaft subject to a twisting moment T, the torsional shearing stress τ at a
distance ρ from the center of the shaft is
Tp Tr
T= ∧T max =
J J
where J is the polar moment of inertia of the section and r is the outer radius.

In RADIANS where T is the torque in N·mm, L is the length of shaft in mm, G is shear modulus in
MPa, J is the polar moment of inertia in mm4, D and d are diameter in mm, and r is the radius in mm.

where the subscript 1 refer to bolts on the outer circle an subscript 2 refer to bolts on the inner circle. See
figure.
For rigid flanges, the shear deformations in the bolts are proportional to their radial distances from the shaft
axis. The shearing strains are related by

If the bolts on the two circles have the same area, A1 = A2, and if the bolts are made of the same material,
G1 = G2, the relation between P1 and P2 reduces to
