Torsional Loads on Circular Shafts
• Interested in stresses and
strains of circular shafts
subjected to twisting couples or
torques
• Turbine exerts torque T on the
shaft

Net Torque Due to Internal Stresses
• The free body diagram of the of the portion BC of the
shaft must include the elementary shearing forces dF,
which is perpendicular to the radius of the shaft, that
portion AC exerts on BC as the shaft is twisted.
• The condition of equilibrium for BC requires that the
system of these elementary forces be equal to an
internal torque T, equal and opposite to T’.

Net Torque Due to Internal Stresses
• Net of the internal shearing stresses is an
internal torque, equal and opposite to the
applied torque,
T dF dA

Shaft Deformations
• From observation, the angle of twist of the
shaft is proportional to the applied torque
and to the shaft length.

L
• When subjected to torsion, every cross-
section of a circular shaft remains plane
and undistorted.
• Cross-sections for hollow and solid circular
shafts remain plain and undistorted
because a circular shaft is axisymmetric.
• Cross-sections of noncircular (non-
axisymmetric) shafts are distorted
when subjected to torsion.
Shearing Strain
• Consider a circular shaft of length L and radius c
that has been twisted through an angle
• Consider an interior section of the shaft. As a
torsional load is applied, an element on the
interior cylinder deforms into a rhombus.
• Since the circles defining two of the sides of the
element remain unchanged, the shearing strain g
must be equal to the angle between lines AB and

Problem 3.01
Normal Stresses
• Consider the two elements a and b located on the
surface of a circular shaft subjected to torsion
• Since the faces of element a are respectively
parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the shaft,
the only stresses on the element will be the
shearing stresses (max = TC/J) Shaft axis
