Material Detail

Torsion is the twisting of an object caused by a moment. It is a type of deformation. A moment which tends to cause twisting is called torque. Some of the things covered in this video include how circular bars deform under torsion, how calculate the angle of twist, and how calculate the stresses and strains that are generated in a circular bar as a result of torsion. Internal torque diagrams are also discussed, and why torsional failure is different for brittle and for ductile and materials.
