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

torsion constant rectangle 1
