Introduction Torsion members – the slender members subjected to torsional loading, that is loaded by couple that produce twisting of the member about its axis Examples – A torsional moment (torque) is applied to the lug-wrench shaft, the shaft transmits the torque to the generator, the drive shaft of an automobile. • Torsional Loads on Circular Shafts: the torsional moment or couple A F x Q2 B C Q1 t z 2 T t T 1 1 2 y 1/10/2013 6 . Introduction Internal torsional moment diagram • Using method of section • Sign convention of Mz - Positive: clockwise - Negative: counterclockwise Mz > 0 M z 0 Mz = y y z z x x 1/10/2013 7 . Torsion of Circular Shafts . Simplifying assumptions 1/10/2013 8 . Torsion of Circular Shafts => In the cross-section, only shear stress exists . Compatibility • Consider the portion of the shaft shown in the figure • CD – before deformation • CD’ – after deformation - From the geometry DD ' d dz d => The Shear strain: dz - d – the angle of twist - Following Hooke’s law: d G G 1/10/2013 dz 9 .
