torsional analysis
(OP)
I am what today may be considered an "old" engineer, maybe outdated.... I want to go back to the basics of engineering and want to review/update my knowledge of torsional analysis.
I tried for the first time in more than 20 years to check the design of a connection including torsional analysis, and I have to confess... I got scared of terms among others, such as "pure torsional shear", "warping shear" and "warping normal shear". Not to tell you about the constants in greek letters...
My real question is: Where in the www can I find courses teaching/reviewing the torsional basics?
My short experience has tought me that "ignorance is daring..."

RE: torsional analysis
A statics text book will be another good start. Torsion is not that hard to work with if yoou understand it, have the math tools and well defined boundary conditions.
Good luck
