Torsional shear stress with arbitrary cross-sections in homogeneous isotropic elastic material using finite element method

Tran, Dang-Bao

Abstract

Determining the shear stress of a structural element caused by torsion is a vital problem. The analytical solution of the Saint-Venant torsion is only suitable for simple cross-sections. The numerical methods to evaluate the shear stress due to torsion of complicated cross-sections is indispensable. Many scientists have studied the torsion problem with various numerical methods. This paper aims to present an efficient finite element method for assessing the shear stress with arbitrary cross-sections in homogeneous isotropic elastic material due to torsion. MATLAB is the language for programming the numerical method. The validation examples were performed to show the reliability and efficiency of the author's numerical method.

Howe e , de e mining he shea s ess due o o sion by he analy ic solu ion is complica ed o a complex single connec ed domain o mul iply connec ed domain. A single connec ed domain is a domain whe e he c oss- sec ion is bounded by a closed. The mul iply connec ed domain is he domain whe e he c oss- sec ion is bo de ed by se e al closed. Nowadays, s uc u al elemen s such as beams and columns a e mo e and mo e complica ed in hei shapes. Hence he use o nume ical me hods o de e mine shea s ess due o o sion is indispensable.
