Total Angle of Twist Formula Elements

Variables
Total Angle of Twist
The Total Angle of Twist is the angle through which a radial section of a body (as a wire or a shaft) deflects from its normal position when the body is subjected to torque.
Symbol: 𝜽
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Torque Exerted on Wheel
Torque Exerted on Wheel is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. In brief, it is a moment of force. It is characterized by τ.
Symbol: τ
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shaft Length
Shaft Length is the distance between two ends of shaft.
Symbol: Lshaft
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Shear Modulus
Shear Modulus in Pa is the slope of the linear elastic region of the shear stress-strain curve.
Symbol: Gpa
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Polar Moment of Inertia
The Polar moment of Inertia is a shaft or beam's resistance to being distorted by torsion, as a function of its shape.
Symbol: J
Measurement: Second Moment of AreaUnit: m⁴
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
