MechMat 10: Torsion II – YouTube playlist

Mechanics of Materials – Session 10: Torsion II (formerly Torsion III)
We further our understanding of torsion in a shaft, shear stress, torsional equilibrium, and angle of twist for determinate and indeterminate systems.

MechMat Session 10: Torsion II (formerly Torsion III)
Date: February 16, 2023

We provide Insights into distributed torsional loading.

Su2023 Live Session 10: Torsion II focusing on distributed torsional loading (starts from 1:42:24)
Date: June 8, 2023
Note: At the very end of this live session, we discuss a more careful approach to solving for angle of twist with a distributed torque than during Sp2023.

We further our understanding of torsion in a shaft with FreeCAD and FEA in PrePoMax.
