The solution for the torsional-stress problem in a small-angle helical coil of rectangular cross section is derived. The exact solution is then approximated for validity at small coil indices. This work complements the solution of Gohner,2 which is valid at larger coil indices.

Abstract Recently, W. Freiberger obtained an exact solution of the problem of uniform torsion of a segment of a ring of circular cross section. This paper presents a solution of the problem for the rectangular cross section. O. Göhner previously treated this case by an approximation method.

Cellulose nanofibers, extracted from wood pulps using the (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation method, are low-cost, sustainable and high-performance materials with potential usage in many applications. The structural information of these cellulose nanofibers in aqueous suspension was characterized by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). A simplified ribbon model having a near rectangular cross section was found to give the best fit to the SAXS results. The analytical expression of the ribbon model also led to a higher calculation efficiency compared with the more conventional parallelepiped model. The extracted structural information included the cross-section size and size distribution of the cellulose nanofibers. For example, for nanofibers prepared from the dried pulp of the maritime pine, the size-weighted averages of thickness and width were 3.2 and 12.7 nm, respectively, and the corresponding standard deviations were 2.2 and 5.5 nm, respectively. The scattering results of the size-weighted average of the nanofiber width are also consistent with those determined directly from transmission electron microscopy.

An exact solution of the equations of elasticity is found for a family of modes of vibration, or waves, in an infinite bar of rectangular cross section for certain ratios of width to depth. The solution is composed of coupled dilatational and equivoluminal waves and the four faces of the bar are free of traction.

The results of stress analysis of angled members subjected to pure flexure are presented. The stress analysis was performed using the ANSYS finite element program. Stress concentration factors varying from 1.25 to 2.5 can be expected at the reentrant corner of the member depending on the ratio of the fillet radius to the width and the deviating angle.
