    Torsional Shear Strength of steel tubes

    Does anyone have any empirically based equation for estimating torsional shear strength of a tube made from a given steel. I've seen "estimates" ranging from 57% UTS to 75% UTS, but nothing empirical. I'm open to anything based on UTS, a given offset strength, or JAEL yield. Thanks!
