THE TORSION TEST Content • Introduction • Mechanical properties in tension • Torsional stress for large plastic strains • Types of torsion failures • Torsion test versus tension test • Hot torsion testing 1 Introduction • The torsion test is not as widely accepted as the tensile test • It is useful in many engineering applications and also in theoretical studies of plastic flow • The torsion test has not been standardized to the same extent as the tension test and is rarely required in materials specifications Mechanical properties in torsion • Modulus of elasticity in shear (G) • Torsional yield strength • Modulus of rupture • Flow properties and fracture under hot- working 2 Mechanical properties in torsion • All subjects to torsional loading in service (e.g.: Shafts, Axels, Twist Drills,…) • Material testing (frequently): -Brittle materials (tool steel) -High temperature twist test to evaluate the forgeability Mechanical properties in torsion 1) A twisting head, with a chuck for gripping the specimen and for applying the twisting moment to the specimen. 2) A weighing head, which grips the other end of the specimen and measures the twisting moment, or torque. 3) A troptometer measures the angle of the deformation of the specimen 3 Mechanical properties in torsion Mechanical properties in torsion A torsion specimen generally has a circular cross section, since this represents the simplest geometry for the calculation of the stress (see also equations). Thin-walled tubular specimen is frequently used (see also equations).
