Mostafa Qasim (Lab Report)

This lab report describes a torsion test experiment conducted to determine the modulus of rigidity (G) of an unspecified material. The experiment involves applying a twisting torque to a rod specimen using a hand wheel and worm gear and measuring the resulting twist angles. Torque and angle data are tabulated and used to calculate G based on the relationship between applied torque, angular displacement, and the material properties. The objectives are to understand torsion theory, practice torsion testing procedures, and determine values for maximum shear stress and strain in order to select appropriate materials for engineering components subjected to torsional loads.

Introduction
The purpose of this experiment is to understand the principle of torsion test through a
planned procedure provided. The procedure requires the input rotating motion onto the hand
wheel which then translates the rotating motion onto the rod specimen provided by a worm gear
from one free end to a fixed end. Through this, torsion exists which is the twisting of the rod due
to applied torque by the hand wheel of which the applied torque values and twist angle are
tabulated. From these tabulated values, the modulus of shear, G is to be determined.

Objective:
 Learn the basics of torsion theory
 Learn and practices the principle of torsion testing,
 Find the maximum shear strain, shear stress and modulus of rigidity
 Establish the relationship degree of rotation and torque applied for the
material under observation
 Understand the differences between material properties of different material
 Able to select material for different engineering components which are
under torsion
 To find shear elastic moduluos(G) , Shear proportional (
Following Formula:
τ/r= T/J
In above equation τ is the torsional stresses produce in the shaft, r is the radius of
the shaft, T is the torque applied at the end of the shaft and J is the second polar
moment of inertia of the shaft. Second polar moment of inertia of the shaft can be
finding out by following formula where D is diameter of the

Shaft:
J= (π ×D^4)/32
This first equation can be rewritten in the form of angular displacement, modulus
of rigidity and length of shaft and follow.
τ/r= Gθ/l
In above equation G is the modulus of rigidity, l is the length if the shaft and θ is
the angular displacement as a result of applied torque. First and third equation can
be combined to an equation through which we can find the modulus of rigidity of
any material under observation.
G= T/θ×l/J
Theory:
The variation of pure shear wherein a structural member is twisted is known as
torsion, whereby the torsional forces produce a rotation motion about the
longitudinal axis of one end of the member relative to the other end. The twist
induced is also known as the torsional deformation. Torsion is normally
tested/applied on cylindrical solid or hollow shafts. Regularly, these tests were
performed conferring to the ASTM Standard E143, “Standard Test for Shear
Modulus”.
