In order to derive the torsional formulas what are the assumptions taken?


The torsion equation is derived on the basis of following assumptions:


> The shaft material is uniform, throughout the shaft.


> Even after loading the shaft circular remains circular.


> After the application of torques the plain section of a shaft remains plain.


> Any twist that occurs in the shaft remains uniform and constant.


> After the application of torque the distance between any two cross-sectional references remains constant.


> The elastic limit value of a shaft is never exceeded even after the shear stress induced because of torque application.
