    The different types of stresses induced in mechanical components are:

    1) Tensile stress
    2) Compressive stress
    3) Torsional shear stress
    4) Bearing pressure
    5) Direct shear stress
    6) Bending stress

    Torsional shear stress:

    - The stress induced in a mechanical component is called as torsional shear stress, if it is subjected to action of two equal and opposite couples acting in parallel planes.

    - Torsional shear stress is maximum at outer surface and zero at centroidal axis.

    - Torsional shear stress (τ) = Tr / J

    here, T = torque applied, r = radial distance from centroidal axis, J = Polar moment of inertia

    - It is measured in N / mm2
