Notes:
Torsion of noncircular beams results in warping of each cross section. When noncircular cross sections are constrained to remain plane, the resulting shear stress distribution is different from what Saint Venant torsion (with warping) would predict. This has practical implications to the stress analysis of plated long bones subjected to torsional loadings. Analyses in which warping is not allowed predict incorrect stress fields in the plate and bone and overpredict the amount of stress shielding associated with fracture plate fixation.
