Isosceles triangle

Values for calculation

$T$ $\mathrm{Nm}$
$a$ $\mathrm{mm}$
$b$ $\mathrm{mm}$
$L$ $\mathrm{mm}$
$G$ $\mathrm{MPa}$

Calculation

Angle

$$α=2\cdot\tan{\cfrac{a}{2\cdot b}}\cdot\cfrac{180}{π}$$

Polar moment of inertia

$\text{if }\ \cfrac{2}{3} < a/b < 2\cdot\sqrt{3}$
$$K=\cfrac{a^3\cdot b^3}{15\cdot a^2+20\cdot b^2}$$
$\text{else}$
$$K=0.0915\cdot b^4\cdot\left(\cfrac{a}{b}-0.8592\right)$$

Angle of twist

$$θ=\cfrac{T\cdot 10^3\cdot L}{K\cdot G}$$

Torsion stress

$$τ_{max}=\cfrac{T\cdot{10}^3\cdot b\cdot\left[0.2+0.309\cdot a/b-0.0418\cdot\left(a/b\right)^2\right]}{K}$$

Requirements

$$\cfrac{2}{3} < a/b < 2\cdot\sqrt3$$$$39 < α < 120$$
