Inelastic Torsion of Cylindrical Shafts

This document discusses inelastic torsion of straight cylindrical shafts. It provides an example problem analyzing a scale model prototype of a small portion of a turbine shaft. It includes an idealized shear stress-strain diagram for magnesium. The worksheet asks the student to: a) Determine the maximum torque if the entire cross section remains elastic b) Determine the maximum torque if the maximum shear strain is 7 x 10-3 rad c) Determine the angle of twist for part b)
