Answer:
In this chapter structural members and machine parts that are in torsion will be
considered. More specifically, the stresses and strains in members of circular cross section
subjected to twisting couples, or torques, T and T' (Fig. 5.1) are analyzed. These couples have a
common magnitude T, and opposite senses. They are vector quantities and can be represented by
couple vectors as shown in Fig.5.1.
Members in torsion are encountered in many engineering applications. The most common
application is provided by transmission shafts, which are used to transmit power from one point
to another. For example, the shaft shown in Fig. 5.1 is used to transmit power from the engine to
the rear wheels of an automobile. These shafts can be solid, as shown in Fig. 5.1, or hollow.
