ABSTRACT

The following experiment outlines the proper procedure for determining the

torsion properties subjected to pure torque loading and identifying the types of

fracture surface under pure torque. During the experiment, mild steel was used to

demonstrate how material behaves during testing conditions. By measuring the

applied torque with respect to the angle of twist, the shear modulus, shear stress at

the limit of proportionality and failure conditions can be found. Ultimately, the shear

modulus for mild steel was determined to be ……. kPa.
