1.0 Brief Introduction
Strength of Material is a core technology subject that aims at enabling the
student to understand and analyze various types of loads, stresses, and
strains along with the main causes of changes in physical properties and
failure of machine parts. All Mechanical Engineering components are
subjected to different loadings and behave in a specific way. The subject is
a prerequisite for understanding the principles of machine design and the
strengths of various materials used in industries. Understanding the
mechanical properties of materials will help in selecting suitable materials
for various engineering applications.

3.0 Rationale
What is Torsion Testing?
Torsion testing is a kind of mechanical testing that estimates the properties
of materials or devices while under stress from angular displacement.
Torsion testing can be divided into two different types: testing raw
materials like metal wires or plastic tubing to determine properties such as
shear strength and modulus, or functional testing of finished products
subjected to torsions, such as screws, pharmaceutical bottles, and sheathed
cables. The most typical mechanical properties measured by torsion testing
are modulus

strength, modulus of rupture in shear, and ductility.
Multiple products and components are subjected to torsional forces during
their operation. Torsion testing is required when engineers wish to change
or update the materials utilized in these products. For example, the metal
utilized in vehicle drive trains experiences a complicated combined
loading when in usage, with torsion being the main component. An
engineer attempting to design a more fuel-efficient vehicle may need to
change the material of the driveshaft in order to reduce vehicle weight.
Torsional testing can assist the engineer to determine an appropriate
material that will possess the required torsional strength while also
contributing to the goal of lightweight.
Numerous finished products are also subjected to torsional forces during
their operation. Products such as biomedical tubing, switches, and
fasteners are just a few devices subjected to torsional stresses in their daily
use. By testing their products in torsion, manufacturers are capable to
simulate real-life service conditions, checking product quality, verifying
designs, and ensuring proper manufacturing methods.
4.0 Types Of Torsion Tests
Torsion tests can be accomplished by applying only a rotational motion or
by applying both axial (tension or compression) and torsional forces.
Types of torsion testing differ from product to product but can usually be
categorized as failure, proof, or product operation testing.
• Torsion Only: Applying only torsional loads to the test specimen.
• Axial-Torsion: Applying both axial (tension or compression) and
torsional forces to the test specimen.
• Failure Testing: Twisting the product, component, or specimen
until failure. Failure can be classified as either a physical break or a
kink/defect in the specimen.
• Proof Testing: Applying a torsional load and holding this torque
load for a fixed amount of time.
• Functional Testing: Testing complete assemblies or products such
as bottle caps, switches, dial pens, or steering columns to verify that
the product performs as expected under torsion loads.
5.0 Torsion Testing Equipment
Torsion testing can be executed on any one of several other testing systems
relying on the specific application. Some labs choose a dedicated torsion-
only testing system such as Instron's MT MicroTorsion Series, while others
may choose to adapt their existing universal testing machine with a Torsion
Add-On 3.0 fixture that allows the system to achieve biaxial testing.
Functional testing of finished products is often executed on a dynamic
fatigue system such as Instron's Electropuls.
6.0 Calculating Results
The torque vs rotation curve created by testing raw materials in torsion is
in numerous ways analogous to the force-displacement curve caught
during axial testing. Most materials show an identical linear area,
representing the shear modulus, followed by yield and ultimate failure.

9.0 Conclusion
Torsion testing involves the twisting of a sample along an axis and is a good test for
obtaining information like torsional shear stress, maximum torque, shear modulus, and
breaking angle of a material or the interface between two materials.
