What is Torsion Bar Spring Energy?

A torsion bar spring energy measures the potential energy stored in a spiral/torsional spring that has been twisted by a certain angle.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 2^2 = 10 \]

The torsion bar spring energy is 10 joules.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 1.5^2 = 3.375 \]

The torsion bar spring energy is 3.375 joules.
