    the material used should be homogeneous. .. not be heterogeneous.

    Different assumptions made in torsion theory are as follows:

    1) Shaft must be straight and should have uniform cross-section.

    2) The shear stress induced in shaft should not exceed the elastic limit.

    3) Twist along the shaft is uniform.

    4) Twisting has no effect on circularity of shaft.


    - The relation ( T/J = Gθ/L = τ/ R) is called as torsion formula.

    Here,

    T is the twisting moment
    J is the polar moment of inertia
    G is the modulus of rigidity
    θ is the angle of twist (radian)
    τ is the shear stress
    R is the shaft radius
