Extract

The problem of the isotropic elastic sphere under the application of equal and opposite point couples ±N at its poles has been treated by M. Sadowsky [1] and by A. Huber [2]. The object of this note is to obtain their results by elementary means.

The problem is an example of the torsion of a shaft of varying circular section, the surface of the shaft being obtained by rotating a curve ξ = α about the z-axis.
