Change of volume in pure torsion

AI Thread Summary
In pure torsion, the change of volume is zero because the normal stresses are absent, which means there are no volumetric changes. Pure torsion occurs when external forces act perpendicular to the bar axis, generating only torsional moments along the axis. Evaluating the three principal stresses in this scenario shows that they sum to zero, confirming the absence of volume change. The presence of normal stress at a 45-degree plane does not affect the overall condition of pure torsion. Thus, the fundamental definition of pure torsion supports that there is no change in volume.

why change of volume in pure torsion is zero?
if you consider stress in plane with degree of 45 there is normal stress
normal stress can lead to change of volume
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
define "pure torsion"...
 
Pure torsion appears when exterior forces acting perpendicular to the bar axis
produce only moments of torsion acting along the bar axis
 
i.e. pure torsion is defined to be the case where the normal stresses are zero.

See what you get if you evaluate the three principal stresses. Do they sum to zero?

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
