Torsion Constant for Rectangle Cross-section
Torsion Constant for Rectangle Cross-section formula |
||
| \( J = a\;b^3 \left[ \frac{1}{3} - 0.21 \; \frac{b}{a} \; \left(1- (b^4\;/\;12\;a^4)\; \right) \right] \) | ||
| 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 | \(in\) | \(mm\) |
