Working with Torsion

Currently attempting to find out the optimum orientation of the carbon fibre. working on the basis of where the steel version would fail and then hoping to use the angle of torsion at this point to create the carbon fibre piece

Moulding Box

My plug design

Torsion of rectangular cross section

the rectangle equations will apply to the flat section of the torsion bar

the expectancy is that there will be greater stresses in the plate. thus why strain gauges have been placed in that section

the torsion bar

As of time of writing, carbon fibre bar still to be produced. FEA work to be started within next 2 weeks beginning with the production of a 3D on solid-works
