This document discusses the effects of torsional loading on long straight members such as shafts and tubes, focusing on stress distribution and angle of twist. It includes formulas for calculating the angle of twist and examples of statically indeterminate torsion in shafts. Additionally, it highlights the differences between circular and noncircular shafts in terms of shear stress and efficiency.
