Torsion of Thin-Walled Closed Cross-Sections Objective: To find stress formula and angle of twist expressions for thin-walled closed section.
Torsion Formula T = 2qAm Closed thin-walled tube. q = t dMo = dF(r) = (dA)r = (tds)r dMo = (qds)r dAm = ½ rds Enclosed area Am dMo = 2qdAm
Torsion of Non-Circulor Cross-sections A – Elliptical Cross-Section If a = b, the above equation reduces the well-known equation for solid circular section.
t=a L t l=b Narrow Rectangular Cross-Section:
t1 L1 t1 L2 t2 l2 l1 t t2 t l3 b t3 L3 a t4 t L4 If ‘t’ is constant then the above becomes: l1+l2+l3 l1+l2+l3+l4 Torsion of thin-Walled open-section: Equivalent narrow rectangular sections with shear stress distribution.
