PRANDTL’S SRESS FUNCTION
For TORSION- General Formulation
An alternative approach proposed by Prandtl leads to
a simpler boundary condition as compared to Eq. (8).
In this method, the principal unknowns are the stress
components rather than the displacement components
as in the previous approach (St. Venant’s).

For non circular cross sections without constraint in z-
direction (σz = 0), The plane surfaces perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis will not remain plane and the surfaces warp.

….(Eq. 21)
Now, Substitute
the Prandtl torsion stress function, ϕ,
in Eqn (22); We get,

Dr. Mathew John S4 ME - AMOS GEC Barton Hill
Boundary Condition of Stress Function (ϕ) is;
ϕ = Zero
i.e., ϕ is constant along the boundary of the cross-section.
The value of this constant is arbitrary and is normally chosen to zero.
If the boundary of the cross-section is a well behaved functions of
x and y such as a circle, ellipse etc., the equation of boundary
becomes an excellent stress function.

Equation of Torque (T) transmitted in terms of
Stress function (ϕ)
Shear stresses on the
shaded area are shown
The total torque – Integrate the torque about the z- axis due to the stresses on the dx dy element
over the entire cross-sectional area,
….(Eq. 24)
Now, Substitute
the Prandtl torsion stress function, ϕ,
in Eqn (24). Therefore Eqn. 24 reduces to,
….(Eq. 25)
Consider the first term in the integral. Integrate this with respect to x by parts; we get
….(Eq. 26)

In a similar fashion, Consider the second term in the integral. Integrate this with respect to y
by parts; we get
