Torsion means twisting a structural Member when it is loaded by a couple that Produces rotation about the longitudinal axis.
Consider a shaft rigidly clamped at one end and twisted at the other end by a torque T = F.d applied in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the bar such a shaft is said to be in torsion.
Effects of Torsion: The effects of a torsional load applied to a bar are
- To impart an angular displacement of one end cross – section with respect to the other end.
- To setup, the shear stresses on any cross section of the bar perpendicular to its axis

Assumptions made for derivation of the Torsion equation-

Pure twisting moment is applied to shaft and it acts in a plane perpendicular to axis of shaft
Material of shaft is homogeneous and isotropic and load is applied within elastic limit
Twisting moment is uniform for entire length of shaft
Cross-section of shaft remains plane after twisting
No changes occur in length of shaft

Series connection: Series connection of compound shaft as shown in the figure. Due to a series connection, the torque on shaft 1 will be equal to shaft 2 and the total angular deformation will be equal to the sum of deformation of the 1st shaft and 2nd shaft.
Parallel Connection: Parallel connection of compound shaft as shown in the figure. Due to a parallel connection of compound shaft, the total torque will be equal to the sum of torque of shaft 1 and torque of shaft 2 and the deflection will be same in both the shafts.
