GTorsion = (T^2)*L/(2*J*U)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Modulus of Rigidity - (Measured in Pascal) - Modulus of Rigidity is the measure of the rigidity of the body, given by the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. It is often denoted by G.
Torque SOM - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Torque SOM is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.
Length of Member - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Member is the measurement or extent of member (beam or column) from end to end.
Polar Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Meter⁴) - Polar Moment of Inertia is the moment of inertia of a cross-section with respect to its polar axis, which is an axis at right angles to the plane of the cross-section.
Strain Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Strain Energy is the energy adsorption of material due to strain under an applied load. It is also equal to the work done on a specimen by an external force.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Torque SOM: 121.9 Kilonewton Meter --> 121900 Newton Meter (Check conversion ​here)

What does Torsion mean?

The twisting or wrenching of a body by the exertion of forces tending to turn one end or part about a longitudinal axis while the other is held fast or turned in the opposite direction also the state of being twisted. The twisting of a bodily organ or part on its own axis.

What is the Strain Energy in Torsion?

The energy stores in the shaft are equal to work done in twisting i.e., Strain energy stored in a body due to torsion. For example, a solid circular shaft.
