Abstract
The distribution of stress in an I-beam in torsion is investigated by a method of successive approximation, and the regions of initial yielding are determined for several values of the angle of twist. Formulas are given for elaborating the methods of Southwell (1) and of Shortley and Weller (2) in order to facilitate this determination.
The value of the stress-concentration factor in the fillets is found to agree well with results obtained by soap-film tests, and regions of plastic flow approximate closely those observed by MacGregor and Hrones (3) by the use of the etching method.
