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
Measurement: Second Moment of AreaUnit: m⁴
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.
