Elastic twist device

This device is used to calculate the value of the shear modulus of objects and compare it with the theoretical values and determine the shear stresses in the shaft.
Twisted components have many applications in engineering. The most common use can be related to power transmission shafts, which are used to transfer power from one place to another.
In the elastic torsion testing machine, a s316 steel rod is tied between two birds as a test sample. The location of the birds can be changed, which changes the effective length of the rod as a result.
