Apologies Greg, I don't think I was especially clear, it seems we've been taught with slightly different terminologies and conventions.
Your assumptions are correct, I should have included but them its been a very long day. It is a cylindrical beam, fixed at the LHS with torsion applied at the...
For a section of a piece of coursework we need to analyse how a beam is deformed when subjected to torsion. My expectation would be that it simply twists, but the deformation diagram obtained from simulating this in Ansys shows a deformation which seems to suggest the cross-sectional area of the...
