Consider the following statements about warping:

1. It is an axial displacement that leaves the section non-planar.

2. Restraining it produces additional direct stresses.

3. A circular shaft warps more than any other section.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 3 only
  • B.2 and 3 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: warping is an axial displacement that leaves the section non-planar, and restraining it generates additional direct stresses. Statement 3 is the exact reverse - the circular shaft is the one common section that does not warp at all, which is precisely what makes the elementary torsion theory exact for it.
