Shaft Deformations
From observation, the angle of twist of the
shaft is proportional to the applied torque
and to the shaft length.

Shearing Strain
Consider an interior section of the shaft. As a
torsional load is applied, an element on the
interior cylinder deforms into a rhombus.
Since the ends of the element remain planar,
the shear strain is equal to angle of twist.

It follows that
