Torsion Constant for Rectangle Cross-section
Torsion Constant for Rectangle Cross-section formula |
||
| \( J \;=\; a \cdot b^3 \cdot \left[ \dfrac{1}{3} - 0.21 \cdot \dfrac{b}{a} \cdot \left(1- \dfrac{b^4 }{ 12 \cdot a^4 } \; \right) \right] \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( J \) (Greek symbol alpha) = torsion constant | \(in^4\) | \(mm^4\) |
| \( a \) = length of long edge of an rectangle | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
| \( b \) = length of short edge of an rectangle | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
