Second, and this is the big difference between axialloaded structures and torqueloaded ones, the shear strain is not uniform along the cross section. It is zero at the center of the twisted rod, and is at a maximum value at the edge of the rod. Finally, the longer the rod, the smaller the shear strain. ... We learned about torque and torsion ...
