Torsion on shaft with square end
To add to desertfox's comment. The formula for max torsional shear stress in a square section is Tau = (0.601*T)/a^3, where "a" is half the distance across the flats. Whereas in a circle it is Tau=(2*T)/(pi*r^3). The circle assumption leads you to overestimate the torsional shear stress by...- Selke
