Abstract

The torsion of two finite, coaxial, circular cylinders, of dissimilar materials, in contact, is considered. The surface of contact is assumed to consist of two parts: an exterior region of slip and an interior region of adhesion. Assuming that slip has progressed a sufficient amount, an analytical expression is given relating the angle of twist with the constant shear stress (assumed) in the slip region, necessary to eliminate a singularity in stress. The special case of an external crack, corresponding to zero shear stress in the slip region, is also discussed.
