Net of the internal shearing stresses is an
internal torque, equal and opposite to the
applied torque,
T dF dA
-
Torque applied to shaft produces shearing
stresses on the faces perpendicular to the
axis.

From observation, the angle of twist of the
shaft is proportional to the applied torque and
to the shaft length.

When subjected to torsion, every cross-section
of a circular shaft remains plane and
undistorted.
Cross-sections for hollow and solid circular
shafts remain plain and undistorted because a
circular shaft is axisymmetric.
Cross-sections of noncircular (non-
axisymmetric) shafts are distorted when
subjected to torsion.

Elements with faces parallel and perpendicular
