Torsion Test Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the material would respond to being repeatedly twisted. Also, using the torsion test can determine the Proportional limits, yield strengths in shear, shearing resilience, and stiffness. Seeing how the much steel rod will twist until it fractures. Theoretical Considerations: The theoretical considerations of the experiment were the relationship between shear modulus of rigidity and tensile modulus of elasticity. Which is when we are seeing if that is true and if can be proven to be true. Description Apparatus: 1. 10k Torsional Machine: The 10k Torsional Machine has a cover on for safety purposes. There is a 602 controller that has several keys. Two of the keys are for speed, one is to increase the speed and the other is to decrease the speed. There are two heads, one is attached to the box of the machine, while the other is on a slider where it can be pushed further away from the other head or closer to it. On top of those heads are knobs that tighten the piece into place. There are rings that are on the face of the head that need to be in the same circle. And inside where the bar is going, there are connectors that have teeth and gears to keep the steel rod in place. Procedure: 1. A micrometer caliper was used to determine the mean of the steel specimen near the mid-length. 2. The shearing proportional limit of 0.6 of the tensile proportional limits and the shearing modulus of rupture as equal to the tensile strength was assumed. 3. Serval readings were taken before and after the proportional limits. The speed Sp was set to 10 degrees/minute (Sp1). The proportional limit was reached, the speed Sp was increased 60 degrees/minute (Sp2). 4. The gage length of 8 inches for the ductility computation was assumed. 5. The specimen was inserted into the two heads, and the chuck end grips were tightened. 6. The 10k torsional machine was set to zero prior to the test.

7. Readings were taken from the 602 controller LCD screen. At the top of the screen, the applied torque was shown in lbs-in and below the rotation in degrees. 8. They torque was applied at Sp 1. The proportional limit was reached the machine was stopped and the rotational speed was increased to Sp 2. The load was applied until it fractured. 9. The steel specimen fractured and was removed, and observations were made.
