12.2. Theoretical Development For Torsion Of A Bar: y a a u u φ θ r u a a y y a φ a

The document discusses the theoretical development of torsion in a circular bar. It presents a figure showing a circular bar being twisted by end torques, with the displacement of points on the bar related to the angle of twist φ. It then postulates the displacement assumptions for small angular rotations, stating that the displacement in the x direction is zero, and the displacements in the y and z directions are related to φ and the geometry through the equations uy = −φz and uz = φy.

Figure 12.7: Displacement Kinematics of Twisted Bar Displacement Assumptions Based on the physical observation discussed earlier, we postulate the following displacements. Since we saw no motion in the x direction, then ux = 0. For small angular rotations, we can relate the motion in the Cartesian y -z plane, i.e., uy and uz , through geometry to the angle of twist and write uy = z and uz = y . These kinematic relations are obtained from the uy z approximations: tan = u y and tan = z . The negative in uy is because uy is negative (down) for positive ( follows the right-had rule as is CCW as viewed in Figure 12.6). These kinematic assumptions are reasonable if is not too large. We note that the angle of twist is a function of x so that = (x).
