Torsional Rigidity Formula Elements

Variables
Torsional Rigidity
Torsional Rigidity is defined as how much an object of specified material resists twisting force, also known as torque. It is based on both the material of the object, as well as its shape.
Symbol: TJ
Measurement: Torsional RigidityUnit: kN*m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Modulus of Rigidity SOM
Modulus of Rigidity SOM is the measure of the rigidity of the body, given by the ratio of shear stress to shear strain. It is often denoted by G.
Symbol: G
Measurement: PressureUnit: GPa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
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.
