Summary

The analysis of the torsion problem for a rod of orthotropic material is presented. The analysis is based on Norton's law generalised for a multi-axial state of stress for an orthotropic medium. The components of displacement have been assumed to be similar to those given by the theory of elasticity. The resultant stress τ at the periphery of the rod has been assumed to be a function of θ. An expression giving the twist as a function of the time has also been derived.

Zusammmenfassung

Die Frage der Torsion eines Stabes aus orthotropem Material wird analysiert. Die Analyse erfolgt mit Hilfe des Nortonschen Gesetzes, in Verallgemeinerung für den Fall einer mehrachsigen Beanspruchung eines orthotropen Materials. Für die Verformungskomponenten wurde angenommen, daß sie ähnlich jenen in der Elastizitätstheorie seien. Für die resultiernde Spannung τ in der Außenzone des Stabes wurde ferner angenommen, daß sie eine Funktion von θ darstelle. Eine Beziehung, welche die Verdrehung als Funktion der Zeit darstellt, wurde abgeleitet.
