Experimental study of nonlinear effects under torsion of the uniform cylinder with initially circular cross section

摘要

The results of experiments related to torsion of uniform cylindrical specimen at the fixed length between the specimens ends are presented in this paper. Axial stress has been found, initially stretching and then compressing the sample which has an oscillatory component with the period of one turn. Reasons of this nonlinear effect that are not described in the references are discussed here.
