Saint-Venant Torsion of non-homogeneous Orthotropic Right Angle Triangle Cross Section
Authors: ,
Abstract: This paper deals with the analytical solution of the non-homogeneous, orthotropic right-angle triangle
cross-section. The shear moduli of the elastic materials are linear function of the elastic materials are linear
functions of the cross-sectional coordinates. Explicit formulas are given for Prandtl’s stress function, torsion
function, shearing stresses, and torsional rigidity. The formulation of the solution is based on Saint-Venant’s
theory of uniform torsion and the application of Prandtl’s stress function.
