In solid mechanics , torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque . It is expressed in
newton meters(Nm) or foot-pound force (ftlbf). In sections perpendicular to the torque axis, the
resultant shear stress in this section is perpendicular to the radius. Home

Shear stress is zero on the axis passing through the center of a shaft and maximum at the outside Engineering Forum
surface of a shaft. On an element where shear stress is maximum, normal stress is 0. This element Engineering News
where maximum shear stress occursis oriented in such a way that its faces are either parallel or Engineering Videos
perpendicular to the axis of the shaft as shown in the figure. To obtain stress in other orientations, Engineering Calculators
plane stress transformation is needed for shear stresses found with this calculator. Engineering Toolbox
