Question:

The potential energy per unit length for the torsion problem was given in Exercise 6.16. Using the principle of minimum potential energy, δ∏ = 0 and this leads to a minimization of the following integral expression:

2 2  1- = - // [() + ( ) * - suano atay  dxdy R dy

From variational calculates this is equivalent to satisfying the governing differential equation V - 2ua.

 1 1/4 L 1/4 1 X

Data from exercise 6.16

From Chapter 9 using the Saint-Venant formulation, the stress field for the torsion of rod of general cross-section R can be expressed by:

0x = 0y = 0 = Txy = 0, Txz = U where = (x, y) is the Prandtl stress function. Show that the total strain
