· If we consider a cylindrical shaft with torques applied it will tend to rotate an angle proportional to the torque.
· We can find the torque exerted using simple stress equations for a plane cutting through the cylinder,
· We can describe the twist, or angle of deflection, using two angles.
· Consider the simple example of the beam below,
