Hello allI think I have managed to calculate to specify structural membersbearing torsion.I needed "torsion" for the proposed new mechanical part of my rod-mill"Rod-mill mechanism - 22July2025 sketch"I did all my study off the Wikipedia page pages references / linked from there.I found other works fairly-much only to "do a double" on what is inthe Wikipedia pages - what Wikipedia says is validated in that way inall aspects I looked at.I ran through the "turbo-generator shaft" example - got the same 69cmanswer for the diameter of what might be the shaft of the 1GWsteam-turbo-generator of a nuclear powerstation.Anyone interested to see my workings and advise / mentor?All is in "flat" text.Calculations done using the Lisp of the emacs text-processor - allseen "in-line" in the "flat text".Regards,Rich S.

I use on-line calculators so I don't forget anything, and a maximum rotating shaft stress...

structural torsion bear - interest check calculations?

I've worked under engineers with that problem!

Several Mensa members I knew admitted to dyslexia. I wonder if it's a sign of too much spatial ability (simultaneously) rather than too little. Printed words can dissolve on me if I'm very tired.

During a Mensa meeting the psychologist speaker suddenly said "ELEPHANT", paused, and polled us on what image first came to mind. I was the only one who visualized both a picture and the word.
