Distribution of shearing stress---membrane analogy
* A homogeneous elastic membrane attached to a fixed frame and subjected to a uniform pressure on one side--- analog of the bar in torsion: The shearing stress will have the same direction as the horizontal tangent to the membrane at Q, and its magnitude will be proportional to the maximum slope. The applied torque will be proportional to the volume between the membrane and the plane of the frame.

stress analysis
Consider a hollow cylindrical member of non-circular cross section, equilibrium of the element AB requires FA=FB
At A x = b tb y
(by using shear equivalent) q=t=constant
shear flow
Analogy: (1) the distribution of shear stress in the transverse section of a thin-walled hollow shaft (2) the distribution of the velocities v in water flowing through a closed channel of unit depth and variable width. Flow in channel q=vt Shear force in the thin-wall q=t
(2) Formula for shearing stress and angle of twist
Shearing Stress:
The shear force dF on a small element ds is dF=dA=(tds)=qds The moment dM0 of dF about an arbitrary point O is dM0=pdF=pqds=q(pds) The moment dM0 of dF about on arbitrary point O is dM0=pdF=pqds=q(pds) where pds equals twice the area element da of tringle: dM0=q(2da) The torque T is
A----the area bounded by the center line of wall cross section The shear stress q T = = t 2tA The angle of twist TL ds = 4 A2G t
T = dM 0 = q (2da) = 2qA
(circular tube, an special case)
