Question

What is angle of twist?


Open in App
Solution

  1. The angle of twist can be defined as the angular deformation in an object due to a couple of twisting torques.
  2. The angular deformation of an object caused by a few twisting torques is known as the angle of twist.
  3. The shaft will exhibit an angular deformation if the twisting moment or torque is applied along the shaft's longitudinal axis; this angular distortion is referred to as the angle of twist.
  4. The shafts and axles are typically made with the least amount of twists possible.
    angle of twist
  5. An angular deformation is observed in the shaft if the twisting moment or torque is applied along the longitudinal axis of the shaft, this angular deformation is considered as the angle of twist.
  6. The unit of the angle of twist is degree or radian.
  7. The mathematical expression for the angle of a twist:
    θ=TLGJ
    Where the shaft with a length of L, Modulus of rigidity G, and Polar moment of inertia of J,
