Abstract:The equations describing torsion of prismatic bars with thin-walled closed cross sections, known as Bredt's formulas, are verified using the method of asymptotic splitting. In particular, the strong formulation of the Saint Venant problem of a straight beam is expanded asymptotically. At first, well-known technical assumptions of the shear stress distribution are validated. Further, the influence of a transverse force acting on the beam is considered. This shear force causes a deformation of the cross section … Show more
