TorsionAnalysis

Calculate torsional response for closed thin-walled and open thin-walled specimen. Compare the resulting experimental data with theory.

Background

For background into the experiment, and the comparison parameters see the files "Lab 1 Description Document.pdf" and "What to Compare.pdf"

Running the Solution Code

Main.m script calls all necessary functions for completing the lab calculations. This file calls

• calcDataCTW.m - This file calculates the results for CTW Theory, and compares to experimental CTW data
• calcDataOTW.m - This file calculates the results for OTW Theory, and compares to experimental OTW data
• calcErrorCTW.m - This file calculates the error associated with the experimental CTW data
• calcErrorOTW.m - This file calculates the error associated with the experimental OTW data
