, TORSION
The act of twisting or turning, that produce stress or
deformation when one end of an object is twisted in one
direction and the other end is held motionless or twisted in
the opposite direction, is referred as Torsion.
Most common example is transmission shaft.

, TORSION
• Structural members and machine parts that are
subjected to twisting couples, or torques, will be
considered.
• These couples have a common magnitude T, and
opposite senses produce stress and strain
