Statement:
A shaft is made up of 3 parts, as shown in the accompanying figure. Parts AB and
CD are made of the same material with a modulus of rigidity of G=9.8x10^3 Ksi
and each has a diameter of 1.5in. Segment BC is made of material with a modulus
of rigidity of G=11.2x10^3ksi and has a diameter of 1in. The shaft is fixed at both
ends. A torque of 2400lb.in is applied at C. Using 3 elements , determine the angle
of twist at B and C and the torsional reactions at the boundaries.
Discretization:
Now we defined the cross section of the shaft by selecting the type of beam and its radius against
each material ID respectively.

Comments:
The Maximum Angle of twist Occur at node3 and minimum deflection at
node 1 and 4 which are fixed
The reaction at node 2 and 3 is zero and is max at node 4 (1941lb-in)
