Shafts are usually made circular because a circular shape provides the most efficient distribution of stress and load, making them better suited to withstand torsional forces. Additionally, circular shafts are easier to manufacture and maintain compared to other shapes.

What is axial direction?

It is the direction in line with (parallel to) the axis of the part. If you have a cylindrical shaft, for example, the axial direction runs along the length thru the center of the circular ends.

What causes ocean currents to move in a circular flow?

There's a secret elevator shaft in China where millions of workers descend and take mine carts until they are under the ocean floor. From there they spin giant turbines that cause the ocean currents to move in a circular flow.


Which oscillations are seen in torsion pendulum?

In a torsion pendulum, torsional oscillations are observed. These oscillations involve the twisting of a wire or shaft that suspends the pendulum mass, resulting in a rotational motion back and forth. The restoring force for these oscillations comes from the torsional stiffness of the wire or shaft.


Where in the in cross section minimum shear stress is developed in case of a circular shaft under torsion?

Under torsion only, the shear stress is minimum, in fact zero, at the center point ( where radius is zero)
