What Stresses Are Present on a Twisted Channel Section?

[shivamagl]

if there is a torque on a channel section twisting it axially what stresses do u expect to be on the side face ??

What do you expect will happen? Also where is the torque being applied?

There are only two kinds of stress: normal stress and shear stress. So the answer is one of those, or a combination, or zero. What difference does it make that it is a channel section?
