Explanation / Answer

In the torsion testing, the relationship between applied torque and the angle of twist is graphically plotted and parametres such as ultimate torsional shear strength, shear strengh and shear moduls are investigated.

For carrying out the experiment, you have to initially mount the workpiece given on the machine. To mount the workpiece, both ends of the given specimen are tightened to the hexagonal sockets in which one is fitted to a torque shaft and other is fitted to an input shaft. By turning the handwheel , you can apply twisting moment and this has to apply till the specimen fails.

when the twisting moment is applied, the torque is reacted by a torque shaft,which moves in relation to the defelction arm. the movement of deflection arm is measured by a linear potentiometer, which is connected to a caliberated digital torque meter which will give you the reading of torque. The degree of rotation can be noted from the proctractors given in the machine.

Since we know the value of torque and the degree of rotation from the experimental observation, and being known the values of Length, diameter of the specimen,

by using the Torsion equation mentioned in the attachement, you can find the torsion.
