In order to increase the effect of the air damping, damping paddles are used to increase the area of test object. The pendulum motion of test object can be measured by the displacement sensor. The moment of inertia of test objects can be calculated by the damping ratio and oscillation ...
ability to resist torsion. The " Polar Moment of Inertia" is defined with respect to an axis perpendicular to the area considered. It is analogous to the " Area Moment of Inertia " - which characterizes a beam's ability to resist bending - required to predict deflection and stress in a ...

In order to relate the shear flow q to the torque T, consider an element of length ds as shown. This element is subjected to a force qds and but rds = twice the area of the shaded triangle, then where Ao is the area enclosed by the middle of the wall of the tube. From the abov...
is the polar moment of inertia of the bar’s cross-sectional area about its axis. The shear stress on the plane shown at a distancerfrom the bar’s axis is $$ \tau =\frac{Tr}{J}. $$ (4.9) Equations (4.7) and (4.9) also apply to a bar with a hollow circular cross section....

The shear stress τ at a point on the cross section is related to the torque at the section by τ=JTρ, where ρ is the distance of the point from the central axis and J is called the polar moment of inertia of the cross-sectional are...
A structural gradient theory of torsion of thin-walled beams is developed. A non-local estimate of the mean value of the angle of twist of the beam leads to a shear gradient that is energetically consistent with a bi-moment, in the spirit of the averaging theory of Vardoulakis and Gianna...
