But the tendency totwist any elementary portion of the piece about an axis pass-ing through its centre and parallel to the axis of Jf will be verysmall compared with the tendency to twist it about either theaxis of r or ^ ; consequently the first will be neglected. Inthe notation of Art. /, this condition is equivalent to makingTr^ = o. As the piece is acted upon by a couple only, all normalstresses will be 44 TORSION IN EQUILIBRIUM. [Art. 10. Eqs.
