Calculate Angle of Twist (α)







Formula

The formula to calculate the Angle of Twist (α) is:

\[ \alpha = \frac{T \cdot L}{J \cdot G} \]

What is Angle of Twist?

An angle of twist is defined as the measure of the amount of twist in radians an object undergoes when subjected to a torque. It is an important parameter in mechanical engineering, particularly in the analysis of torsional stress and deformation in shafts and other structural elements.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Angle of Twist:

\[ \alpha = \frac{500 \cdot 2}{0.0001 \cdot 80000} = \frac{1000}{8} = 125 \text{ radians} \]

The Angle of Twist is 125 radians.
