2.1.1 Torsion of a hollow cylinder

Product: ABAQUS/Standard  

This problem verifies and illustrates the use of axisymmetric solid elements with twist in ABAQUS. An Airy stress function provided by Fung (1977) is used to obtain the stress components in the cylindrical coordinate system for this problem.
