CIVL 7111 - Homework Assignment #18
set cell vertical height
For the mesh shown below set up and solve the torsion problem for the circle. Compare your results for the maximum shear stress and the total torque T with the exact solution. Assume nodes 2 is midway between nodes 1 and 4 and that node 3 is midway between nodes 1 and 5.

Should the answers depend upon the angle Θ? What boundary conditions should be used on the radial lines of the model? Check to see how well these boundary conditions are satisfied.
