    The document discusses finding the stress function and evaluating stresses for a complex cross section using Prandtl's membrane analogy and finite element analysis. It introduces the membrane analogy approach which models the cross section as a stretched membrane to obtain the stress function. The steps involve developing the mathematical model and differential equation relating the stress function and applied pressure. A thin homogeneous membrane is stretched over the cross section and equating internal and external forces yields the governing differential equation. The stress function is then used to determine shear stresses and twisting moment. The methodology is implemented using finite element modeling and MATLAB coding to obtain the stress function and verify results.

    INTRODUCTION
    To find Torsion of a complex cross section, it is necessary to find the stress function of the section.
     There are three equations of equilibrium, which are to be satisfied. Assuming pure torsion, the first
    two conditions are automatically satisfied. The third condition is satisfied assuming a function called
    as stress function.

     Membrane Analogy given by Prandtl is a simplified approach to find the stress function.
    The deformation of the membrane covering a pipe of the required cross section, under unit normal
    pressure is obtained, and is used to obtain shear stresses and twisting moment.
    A membrane element will be used for the finite element model.
    A membrane element is a 2D element, which has 3 or 4 nodes. The element can still have a
    deformation in third dimension.

    MATHEMATICAL MODELLING
    A thin homogenous membrane is stretched over a cross section having the same shape as the
    shaft under test.

    Internal induced forces + pressure x area = 0


    After balancing vertical forces on element, we get

    The equation can be compared to the differential equation,


    Where,

    function, the slope equal to the shear stresses, and the twice the volume under the
    membrane is equal to the twisting moment.
