Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Torque
Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TorqueUnit: kN*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length of Shaft
Length of Shaft is the distance between two ends of shaft.
Symbol: Lshaft
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Angle of Twist
Angle of twist is the angle through which the fixed end of a shaft rotates with respect to the free end.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: rad
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Polar Moment of Inertia
Polar Moment of Inertia is the moment of inertia of a cross-section with respect to its polar axis, which is an axis at right angles to the plane of the cross-section.
Symbol: J

FAQs on Modulus of rigidity

What is the formula to find Modulus of rigidity?
The formula of Modulus of rigidity is expressed as Modulus of Rigidity = (Torque*Length of Shaft)/(Angle of Twist*Polar Moment of Inertia). Here is an example- 2.2E-11 = (28000*4.58)/(1.42*0.0041).
How to calculate Modulus of rigidity?
With Torque (T), Length of Shaft (Lshaft), Angle of Twist (θ) & Polar Moment of Inertia (J) we can find Modulus of rigidity using the formula - Modulus of Rigidity = (Torque*Length of Shaft)/(Angle of Twist*Polar Moment of Inertia).
What are the other ways to Calculate Modulus of Rigidity?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Modulus of Rigidity-
  • Modulus of Rigidity=(Maximum Shear Stress*Length of Shaft)/(Angle of Twist*Radius of Shaft)OpenImg
Can the Modulus of rigidity be negative?
No, the Modulus of rigidity, measured in Pressure cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Modulus of rigidity?
Modulus of rigidity is usually measured using the Gigapascal[GPa] for Pressure. Pascal[GPa], Kilopascal[GPa], Bar[GPa] are the few other units in which Modulus of rigidity can be measured.
