在扭转载荷下，圆轴的横截面保持平整且不变形，因为它们是轴对称的。
然而，由于方杆中缺乏轴对称，当杆扭曲时，除了对角线和连接该横截面中点的线外，其横截面中的任何线都会扭曲。
考虑在方杆横截面的拐角处有一个小的立方单元。垂直于每个轴的单元面是杆自由表面的一部分，因此这些面和横截面拐角上的所有应力均为零。 
因此，在这里不能假设剪切应力随距轴的距离线性变化。
最大剪应力沿杆较宽面的中心线发生，可以用其较宽和较窄的面的宽度来表示。同样，扭曲角也根据这两个宽度来定义。
在这里，系数 c1 和 c2 仅取决于两个面的尺寸比。

非圆形杆件的扭转

 由于承受扭转应力的圆轴具有轴对称的特性而使其能够保持横截面的完整性。这种对称性确保了应力的均匀分布，使得轴能够在承受扭转的情况下不发生变形。相比之下，缺乏这种轴对称性的方形杆在受到扭转时，除了沿对角线和连接中点的线以外，整个横截面都会出现明显的变形。对方形杆在横截面拐角处的立方体单元进行详细的检查后可以发现，其朝外的侧面（杆外部的一部分）是没有应力的。这表明了这些表面和横截面拐角处的应力为零，从而能够得出结论：在这类杆中，剪应力不随与轴线之间的距离呈线性分布。
 
 这可以推广到具有矩形横截面的杆。在这种情况下，剪切应力能够沿着位于杆上较宽面的中心线达到峰值。这一最大应力和扭转角度取决于杆的尺寸，特别是其较宽面和较窄面的宽度。对于这些参数的确定通常会涉及到特定的系数，即 c_1 和 c_2，它们是根据钢筋表面尺寸的比例来进行计算的。

 该计算突出了杆的几何特性与其对扭转载荷响应之间的关系，同时还强调了在评估材料发生扭转行为时考虑其形状和尺寸的重要性。

Torsion of Noncircular Members

torsion in square and rectangular bars

Torsion in square and rectangular bars shows how shape changes the way a material twists. Circular shafts keep their cross-sections nearly unchanged because they are axis-symmetric. That symmetry helps the stress spread evenly, so the shaft can resist torsion without distorting.

Square bars behave differently because they do not have the same axial symmetry. When twisted, their cross-sections distort, although the diagonals and the lines connecting the midpoints stay as exceptions. This means the twisting pattern is not uniform across the whole bar.

A close look at a small cubic element at the corner of a square bar shows another key detail. The outer sides of that corner element are part of the bar’s surface, and they are stress-free. So the stress at the surface and at the corners is zero. That also shows shearing stress does not increase in a simple linear way with distance from the axis in these bars.

The same idea applies to bars with rectangular cross-sections. In a rectangular bar, the shearing stress is greatest along the centerline of the wider face. The maximum stress and the angle of twist both depend on the bar’s dimensions, especially the widths of the wider and narrower faces. Engineers use coefficients called c1 and c2 to find these values from the ratio of the face dimensions.

stresses in a shaft

Torque and Shear in a Twisted Shaft

A shaft under torque develops internal shear forces as it twists. In this setup, equal and opposite torques act on the shaft PQ. To study the effect, a section is cut perpendicular to the shaft axis at an arbitrary point R. The free-body diagram of the QR segment shows the shearing forces applied by the PR portion. These forces act as the shaft resists twisting. Using equilibrium on the QR segment links the internal shear forces in the cut section to the internal torque. Here, r is the...

Shear Strain in a Circular Shaft

Shear strain in a circular shaft describes how the shaft’s surface changes shape under torsion. A circular shaft keeps each cross-section flat and undistorted as it twists. Each section behaves like a rigid slab that rotates in place. To study the strain inside the shaft, consider a cylindrical section with length L and radius R. One end of this section is fixed. The radius at a point inside the section is labeled r. Before the load is applied, a small square element lies on the surface of...

circular shaft - stresses in linear range

Torsion Formula for Circular Shafts

Torsion in a circular shaft is analyzed when the applied torque stays within Hooke's law. In this linear range, the shaft does not undergo permanent deformation. The discussion uses shearing strain, shearing stress, and the modulus of rigidity to build the stress equation. The derivation also requires the moments of the small forces on a cross-section to equal the applied torque. When the shearing stress expression is rewritten, an integral term appears. This term represents the polar moment...

angle of twist - elastic range

Elastic Twist in a Circular Shaft

Elastic twist in a circular shaft describes how a cylindrical shaft rotates when torque is applied. The shaft has a length L and a uniform radius r. A torque at the free end creates shearing strain, which is greatest at points farther from the shaft axis. When the shaft stays within the elastic range, the shearing strain can be written in terms of the applied torque, radial distance, polar moment of inertia, and modulus of rigidity. The polar moment of inertia is a geometric measure of how the...

angle of twist: problem solving

Shaft Torsion Between Pulleys B and C

Shaft torsion between pulleys B and C is found by analyzing how torque twists an aluminum shaft. An electric motor applies 700 N·m of torque and produces stable rotation. The shaft carries pulleys B and C, which experience torques of 300 N·m and 400 N·m. The calculation starts with a section cut between pulleys B and C. A free-body diagram is used to study the cut cross-section. Because pulley B has an anticlockwise torque, the torque at the cut must balance it in the opposite direction. The...

design of transmission shafts

Sizing a Transmission Shaft by Torque

A transmission shaft is sized from the power it must carry and the speed it rotates at. These two design limits guide the choice of shaft material and cross-sectional size. The goal is to keep the maximum shearing stress within the elastic limit while still transmitting the needed power. Power is directly linked to torque, which is the twisting force applied to the shaft. By rearranging the power relation, the torque can be found from the required power and the shaft speed. That torque value...

stress concentrations in circular shafts

Why Shafts Develop Local Stress Peaks

Circular shafts can develop local stress peaks when torque is applied through real machine parts. The elastic torsion formula works best for a circular shaft with a uniform cross-section and rigid plates fixed to its ends. In practice, torque is often passed through flange couplings or gears, and these parts use keys in keyways to connect to the shaft. That loading method changes the stress pattern near the point where torque enters the shaft. The stress distribution no longer matches the...

plastic deformation in circular shafts

Torsional Failure and Plastic Strain in Shafts

Plastic deformation in circular shafts happens when torsional force pushes the material past its yield strength. At that point, the shaft does not return to its original shape. Instead, it keeps a permanent strain. To measure this change, the stress pattern inside the shaft must be understood. The maximum shearing stress is calculated first. Then a shearing-stress-strain diagram can be drawn to find the maximum shearing strain. Shearing strain changes linearly with the distance from the shaft...

circular shafts - elastoplastic materials

Torsion Limits in Circular Shafts

Circular shafts under torsion show a clear change from elastic behavior to plastic deformation as torque increases. In the elastic limit, stress rises in direct proportion to the distance from the shaft’s center. The outer material carries the highest stress first, and the shaft can still return to its original shape. At a critical stress level, the shaft begins to yield. This marks the maximum torque the shaft can carry without permanent deformation. Beyond this point, a plastic region forms...

residual stresses in circular shafts

Residual Stress After Shaft Torsion

Residual stress can remain in a circular shaft after torque causes plastic deformation. This happens in elastoplastic materials, which show both elastic and plastic behavior. The plastic change can come from high shearing stress or large strain. Residual stress is the internal stress that stays in the material after the external force is removed. In a shaft under torque, the angle of twist does not return fully to its original value. That lasting change shows that residual stress is still...

thin-walled hollow shafts

Shear Flow in Thin-Walled Shafts

Shear flow in a thin-walled hollow shaft describes how torsional force is carried through the wall. When a small segment of width dx is isolated, it is still in equilibrium, but it experiences torsional shearing forces at its ends. These forces come from the longitudinal shearing stress on the segment's minor surface multiplied by that surface area. The result is a uniform shear flow through the structure. To study the wall more closely, a small section with length ds is considered. The force...
