This lecture introduces the concept of torsion, focusing on the torsional behavior of non-circular bars, relative stresses and strains, and the calculation of the angle of torsion under different conditions. It covers the application of torsional moments on circular and hollow shafts, the definition of torsion, the representation of couples, and the equilibrium between internal and external torques.
