Purpose

What this calculator does

The calculator uses Saint-Venant torsion of a circular shaft and supports stiffness assessment after preliminary shaft sizing.

Boundary

What still needs checking

Notches, keyways, shoulders, non-circular sections, restrained warping, plasticity, and fatigue are outside scope.
