CHAPTER 3
Not all deformation is elongational or compressive. The concept of strain can be
extended to inclined shearing or distortional effects.
Introduction
The deformation of a circular cylinder rod by surface tractions applied at the end
forces can be studied using basic concepts of continuum mechanics.
The formulas for deformation and stresses in circular cylinder of linear elastic
material subjected to torsion are developed .The state of stress in pure shear and
state of strain are analyzed.
