Calculate Torsion Constant



Formula

The formula to calculate the Torsion Constant (TC) is:

\[ \text{TC} = \frac{t \cdot L}{a} \]

What is a Torsion Constant?

A torsion constant is a measure of the total angle that an object or material will twist when a torque is applied. It quantifies the stiffness of an object in response to an applied torque, with a higher torsion constant indicating greater resistance to twisting.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Torsion Constant:

\[ \text{TC} = \frac{50}{25} = 2 \text{ N/deg} \]

The Torsion Constant is 2 N/deg.
