The response of a component to these torsional loads depends upon a material property called the shear modulus, and the geometry of the component through its geometric moment of inertia. In these ...

This appendix derives some of the fundamental torsional parameters used in the text, including the derivations of the results shown in Table 6.1. The total polar moment of inertia of the uniform shaft ...

Two features of the section are used to determine the shape factor for bending, the overall area of the section, A, and the way the material is distributed about an axis of interest - the geometric ...
