Is the T=2*q*A Formula Valid for Both Open and Closed Thin-Walled Members?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The formula T=2*q*A is valid for both open and closed thin-walled members, where T represents torque, q denotes shear flow, and A is the area. This conclusion is based on the fundamental principles of mechanics and the behavior of materials under torsional loads. The discussion confirms that the formula applies universally to these types of structural elements without the need for additional physical property considerations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torque in mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with shear flow concepts
  • Knowledge of thin-walled member behavior in structural engineering
  • Basic principles of mechanics of materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of T=2*q*A in practical engineering scenarios
  • Explore the differences between open and closed thin-walled members
  • Study the implications of shear flow on structural integrity
  • Investigate advanced topics in torsional analysis of thin-walled structures
USEFUL FOR

Structural engineers, mechanical engineers, and students studying mechanics of materials will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focused on the analysis and design of thin-walled structures.

Are there no physical properties involved?
