kiertojännitys
Kiertojännitys, also known as torsional stress or torque, is a type of stress that occurs in a material when it is subjected to twisting forces. These forces create a shear stress within the material, causing its internal structure to deform. Imagine a rod being twisted; the outer layers of the rod experience greater shear stress than the inner layers. This stress is distributed across the cross-section of the object.
The magnitude of kiertojännitys depends on the applied torque and the geometry of the object. For a
Kiertojännitys is a crucial consideration in mechanical engineering, particularly in the design of components like drive
