At the fixed end, the uniform torque is zero because d φ /d x = 0. Because of
this,thetorque T x thereisresistedsolelybythewarpingtorque,andthemaximum
warping shear stresses occur at this point. The value of d 2 φ /d x 2 is greatest at the
fixedend,andthereforethevalueofthewarpingnormalstressisalsogreatestthere.
Thevalueofd φ /d x isgreatestattheloadedendofthecantilever,andthereforethe

torque at the loaded end is

1 + e 2 L / a ,
T wL = T
which decreases from T to zero as L / a increases from 0 to . Thus the warp-
ing shear stresses at the loaded end are not zero, but are less than those at the
fixed end.

twist rotation
Problem. ThecantilevershowninFigure10.28is5mlongandhastheproperties
shown in Figure 10.37. If the serviceability end torque T is 3 kNm, determine
approximate values of the serviceability end twist rotation either by
(a) assuming that the cantilever is in uniform torsion ( EI w 0), or
(b) assuming that the cantilever is in warping torsion ( GI t 0), or
(c) using the approximation of equation 10.56.
