1 Introduction

The Saint-Venant torsion of anisotropic linearly elastic bars has been the subject of several works from both theoretical and numerical viewpoints. Books by Lekhnitskii [5, 6], Milne-Thomson [8], Arutjujan and Abramjan [1], Sokolnikoff [13], Sadd [10], Sarkisyan [11, 12], Rand and Rovenski [9], Chabanjan [2] give the detailed analysis of Saint-Venant torsion of anisotropic and orthotropic bars. The books mentioned above deal with mainly the Saint-Venant torsion of Cartesian anisotropic and orthotropic bars. The torsion problem of cylindrically anisotropic and orthotropic bars is studied in books by Lekhnitskii [5, 6], Rand and Rovenski [9] and papers by Soós [14] and Ecsedi et al [4]. In paper [3], by the use of principle of minimum of potential energy and principle of minimum of complementary energy, approximate analytical solutions are derived for the torsion function and for the Prandtl’s stress function of the uniform torsion of cylindrically orthotropic solid elliptical cross section.
Present paper deals with the Saint-Venant torsion of cylindrically orthotropic bar whose cross section is a sector of hollow circle. The considered cylindrically orthotropic homogeneous elastic annular wedge-shaped bar strengthened on its curved boundary parts by thin isotropic elastic shells. An analytical solution is formulated to solve the Saint-Venant’s torsion problem for the cylindrically orthotropic bar which is reinforced by thin isotropic elastic shells on its curved boundary surfaces. The developed solution gives the Prandtl’s stress function, torsion function and the torsional rigidity of the compound cross section which consists of one solid cross section and two open thin walled cross section.

2 Governing equations

At first, we consider the Saint-Venant torsion of the compound linear elastic bar which is constructed from three cylindrical orthotropic beam components whose cross section is shown in Fig. 1.
The cylindrical coordinate system \(Or\varphi z\) has been used to formulate the governing equations of the uniform torsion problem of compound annular wedge-shape bar. The cross section A can be divided into three parts as \(A=A_{1}\cup A_{2}\cup A_{3}\), where
$$\begin{aligned}&A_{1}=\{ (r,\varphi ) | R_{0}\le r \le R_{1}, \, 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \} \end{aligned}$$
(1)
$$\begin{aligned}&A_{2}=\{ (r,\varphi ) | R_{1}\le r \le R_{2}, \, 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \} \end{aligned}$$
(2)
$$\begin{aligned}&A_{3}=\{ (r,\varphi ) | R_{2}\le r \le R_{3}, \, 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \} \end{aligned}$$
(3)
There are perfect connections between the beam components whose cross sections are \(A_{1}\), \(A_{2}\) and \(A_{3}\). From this fact it follows that axial displacement and radial shearing stress field are continuous on the whole cross section A. The length of the compound bar is denoted by L. The material of the beam component \(B_{i}=A_{i}\times (0,L)\) \((i=1,2,3)\) is cylindrically orthotropic with shear modulus \(G_{ir}\), \(G_{i\varphi }\) \((i=1,2,3)\). In the present problem the Prandtl’s stress function formulation of the considered Saint-Venant torsion leads to the next coupled boundary-value problem [2, 4‐6, 9, 11, 12]
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\partial ^{2} U_{1}}{\partial r^{2}} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial U_{1}}{\partial r}+\frac{g_{1}^{2}}{r^{2}}\frac{\partial ^{2} U_{1}}{\partial \varphi ^{2}} = -2 G_{1\varphi } \qquad g_{1}=\sqrt{\frac{G_{1\varphi }}{G_{1r}}} \quad \mathrm {in}\, A_{1} \end{aligned}$$
(4)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{1}=0\quad R_{0} \le r \le R_{1} \quad \varphi =0 \quad \mathrm {and} \quad \varphi =\alpha \end{aligned}$$
(5)
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\partial ^{2} U_{2}}{\partial r^{2}} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial U_{2}}{\partial r} + \frac{g_{2}^{2}}{r^{2}}\frac{\partial ^{2} U_{2}}{\partial \varphi ^{2}} = -2 G_{2\varphi } \qquad g_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{G_{2\varphi }}{G_{2r}}} \quad \mathrm {in}\,A_{2} \end{aligned}$$
(6)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{2}=0\quad R_{1} \le r \le R_{2} \quad \varphi =0 \quad \mathrm {and} \quad \varphi =\alpha \end{aligned}$$
(7)
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\partial ^{2} U_{3}}{\partial r^{2}} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial U_{3}}{\partial r} + \frac{g_{3}^{2}}{r^{2}}\frac{\partial ^{2} U_{3}}{\partial \varphi ^{2}} = -2 G_{3\varphi } \qquad g_{3}=\sqrt{\frac{G_{3\varphi }}{G_{3r}}} \quad \mathrm {in}\,A_{3} \end{aligned}$$
(8)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{3}=0\quad R_{2} \le r \le R_{3} \quad \varphi =0 \quad \mathrm {and} \quad \varphi =\alpha \end{aligned}$$
(9)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{1}(R_{0},\varphi )=0\qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(10)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{3}(R_{3},\varphi )=0\qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(11)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{1}(R_{1},\varphi ) = U_{2}(R_{1},\varphi ) \qquad 0\le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(12)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{2}(R_{2},\varphi ) = U_{3}(R_{2},\varphi ) \qquad 0\le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(13)
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{G_{1\varphi }} \frac{\partial U_{1}}{\partial r} = \frac{1}{G_{2\varphi }} \frac{\partial U_{2}}{\partial r}\qquad r=R_{1} \qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(14)
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{1}{G_{2\varphi }} \frac{\partial U_{2}}{\partial r} = \frac{1}{G_{3\varphi }} \frac{\partial U_{3}}{\partial r}\qquad r=R_{2} \qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(15)
Equations (4), (6) and (8) formulate the strain compatibility conditions in terms of stress function \(U_{i}=U_{i}(r,\varphi )\) \((i=1,2,3)\). The boundary conditions (5), (7), (9), (10) and (11) express that the whole boundary contour of cross section A is traction free. The continuity conditions of radial shearing stresses on the common boundary curve of \(A_{1}\) and \(A_{2}\) on the common boundary curve of \(A_{2}\) and \(A_{3}\) are formulated by Eqs. (12) and (13). Equations (14) and (15) provide the continuity of the axial displacement over the whole cross section A. The relation between the Prandtl’s stress functions \(U_{i}=U_{i}(r,\varphi )\) and torsion function \(\omega _{i}=\omega _{i}(r,\varphi )\) are described by the following systems of equations [2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12]
$$\begin{aligned} G_{ir}\frac{\partial \omega _{i}}{\partial r} = \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial U_{i}}{\partial \varphi }, \quad G_{i\varphi } \frac{\partial \omega _{i}}{\partial \varphi } = - r \frac{\partial U_{i}}{\partial r} - G_{i\varphi } r^{2} \qquad (r,\varphi )\in A_{i} \quad (i=1,2,3) \end{aligned}$$
(16)
Equation (16) is based on formulae of shearing stresses \(\tau _{irz}=\tau _{irz}(r,\varphi )\) and \(\tau _{i\varphi z}=\tau _{i\varphi z}(r,\varphi )\) expressed in terms of \(U_{i}=U_{i}(r,\varphi )\) and \(\omega _{i}=\omega _{i}(r,\varphi )\) \((i=1,2,3)\) which are as follows
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\tau _{irz}}{\vartheta } = G_{ir} \frac{\partial \omega _{i}}{\partial r} = \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial U_{i}}{\partial \varphi } \qquad (i=1,2,3) \end{aligned}$$
(17)
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\tau _{i\varphi z}}{\vartheta } = G_{i\varphi } \left( \frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial \omega _{i}}{\partial \varphi } + r\right) = -\frac{\partial U_{i}}{\partial r} \qquad (i=1,2,3) \end{aligned}$$
(18)
In Eqs. (14), (15) \(\vartheta \) denotes the rate of twist with respect to the axial coordinate z [5, 6, 8]. The relation between the applied torque T and \(\vartheta \) is as follows
$$\begin{aligned} T=\vartheta S \end{aligned}$$
(19)
where S is the torsional rigidity of the compound cross section A. According to Prandtl’s formulation of uniform torsion we have [5, 6, 11, 12]
$$\begin{aligned} S=2\left( \int \limits _{A_{1}} U_{1}\,\mathrm{d} A + \int \limits _{A_{2}} U_{2}\,\mathrm{d} A + \int \limits _{A_{3}} U_{3} \, \mathrm{d} A\right) . \end{aligned}$$
(20)
Here, we note for isotropic beam component the shear modulus in radial and circumferential direction is the same, that is
$$\begin{aligned} G_{r}=G_{\varphi }=G \end{aligned}$$
(21)

3 Cross section reinforced by thin elastic shells

Figure 2 shows the elastic cylindrically orthotropic cross section which is reinforced by thin isotropic elastic shells on its curved boundary. In the present problem
$$\begin{aligned}&A_{1}=\{(r,\varphi ) | R_{0}\le r \le R_{1}=R_{0}+t_{1}\quad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \} \end{aligned}$$
(22)
$$\begin{aligned}&A_{3}=\{(r,\varphi ) | R_{2}\le r \le R_{3}=R_{2}+t_{2}\quad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \} \end{aligned}$$
(23)
The thickness \(t_{i}\) \((i=1,2)\) are small in comparison with \(R_{0}\). Following Arutyunjan and Abramyan [1] and Chabanjan [2] we assume that the stress function \(U_{i}=U_{i}(r,\varphi )\) \((i=1,3)\) is a linear function of the radial coordinate r and satisfies the boundary conditions (10), (11), and the continuity conditions formulated by Eqs. (12) and (13). According to the above-mentioned requirements we have
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{1}(r,\varphi )=\frac{U(R_{1},\varphi )}{t_{1}} (r-R_{0})\quad (r,\varphi ) \in A_{1} \end{aligned}$$
(24)
$$\begin{aligned}&U_{2}(r,\varphi )=-\frac{U(R_{2},\varphi )}{t_{2}} (r-R_{3})\quad (r,\varphi ) \in A_{3} \end{aligned}$$
(25)
Here, we introduce the next designation \(U_{2}(r,\varphi )=U(r,\varphi )\). Denote \(G_{i}\) \((i=1,3)\) the shear modulus of the thin isotropic elastic shell whose thickness is \(t_{i}\) \((i=1,2)\). The shear modulus in radial and tangential direction of cylindrically orthotropic cross section \(A_{2}\) are represented by \(G_{r}\) and \(G_{\varphi }\). From Eqs. (14) and (15) we obtain the next boundary conditions for \(U=U(r,\varphi )\) [1, 2]
$$\begin{aligned}&U(R_{1},\varphi ) - \mu _{1}\left. \frac{\partial U}{\partial r}\right| _{r=R_{1}} = 0 \qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(26)
$$\begin{aligned}&U(R_{2},\varphi ) + \mu _{2}\left. \frac{\partial U}{\partial r}\right| _{r=R_{2}} = 0 \qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(27)
Here
$$\begin{aligned} \mu _{1} = t_{1} \frac{G_{1}}{G_{\varphi }}, \qquad \mu _{2} = t_{2} \frac{G_{3}}{G_{\varphi }}\qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(28)
The solution of Saint-Venant’s torsion of cylindrically orthotropic annular wedge-shaped bar strengthened by on its curved boundary surfaces by thin isotropic elastic shells is obtained from the next boundary value problem
$$\begin{aligned}&\frac{\partial ^{2} U}{\partial r^{2}} + \frac{1}{r} \frac{\partial ^{2} U}{\partial r^{2}}+ \frac{g^{2}}{r^{2}} \frac{\partial ^{2} U}{\partial \varphi ^{2}} = -2G_{\varphi } \qquad g^{2} = \frac{G_{\varphi }}{G_{r}} \; (r,\varphi ) \in A_{2} \end{aligned}$$
(29)
$$\begin{aligned}&U(r,0) = U(r,\alpha )=0 \qquad R_{1} \le r\le R_{2} \end{aligned}$$
(30)
$$\begin{aligned}&U(r,\varphi )- \mu _{1}\frac{\partial U}{\partial r} = 0 \qquad r=R_{1} \qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha \end{aligned}$$
(31)
$$\begin{aligned}&U(r,\varphi )+\mu _{2}\frac{\partial U}{\partial r} = 0 \qquad r=R_{2} \qquad 0 \le \varphi \le \alpha . \end{aligned}$$
(32)
We look for the solution of the boundary value problem formulated by Eqs. (29)–(32) in the next form
$$\begin{aligned} U(r,\varphi )=\sum \limits _{k=1}^{\infty } u_{k}(r)\sin \lambda _{k} \varphi \qquad \lambda _{k}= (2k-1)\frac{\pi }{\alpha } \end{aligned}$$
(33)
It is evident \(U=U(r,\varphi )\) satisfies the boundary conditions (30). In order to obtain the expression of \(u_{k}=u_{k}(r)\) we will use the next Fourier’s series representation of \(-2G_{\varphi }\)
$$\begin{aligned} -2 G_{\varphi }=-\frac{8 G_{\varphi }}{\alpha } \sum \limits _{k=1}^{\infty } \frac{\sin \lambda _{k} \varphi }{\lambda _{k}} \end{aligned}$$
(34)
Substitution of Eq. (33) into Eq. (29) we obtain
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} u_{k}}{\mathrm{d} r^{2}} + \frac{1}{r}\frac{\mathrm{d} u_{k}}{\mathrm{d} r} - \frac{p_{k}^{2}}{r^{2}}u_{k} = -\frac{8 G_{\varphi }}{\alpha \lambda _{k}} \quad p_{k}=g\lambda _{k} \quad (k=1,2,\dots ) \end{aligned}$$
(35)
The general solution of the ordinary differential equation (35) is as follows
$$\begin{aligned} u_{k}(r) = a_{k}r^{p_{k}} + b_{k}r^{-p_{k}} + c_{k}r^{2} \qquad c_{k}=-\frac{8 G_{\varphi }}{\alpha \lambda _{k}(4-p_{k}^{2})}\quad (k=1,2,\dots ) \end{aligned}$$
(36)
The constants \(a_{k}\) and \(b_{k}\) can be computed from the boundary conditions (31) and (32). A detailed computation gives
$$\begin{aligned}&a_{k}=c_{k}\frac{h_{1k}}{h_{k}} \qquad b_{k}=-c_{k} \frac{h_{2k}}{h_{k}} \qquad (k=1,2,\dots ) \end{aligned}$$
(37)
$$\begin{aligned}&h_{k}=\mu _{1}\mu _{2} p_{k}^{2} R_{1}^{2p_{k}} + \mu _{2}p_{k} R_{1}^{2p_{k}+1} + \mu _{1}p_{k} R_{2} R_{1}^{2 p_{k}} -R_{2}R_{1}^{2p_{k}+1}\nonumber \\&\qquad \quad +\mu _{1}\mu _{2} p_{k}^{2} R_{2}^{2p_{k}} + \mu _{2} p_{k}R_{2}^{2p_{k}}R_{1} + \mu _{1} p_{k}R_{2}^{2p_{k}+1} + R_{2}^{2p_{k}+1} R_{1} \end{aligned}$$
(38)
$$\begin{aligned}&h_{1k}=-\mu _{2}p_{k}R_{1}^{p_{k}+3} + R_{2}R_{1}^{p_{k}+3} - 2 \mu _{1} R_{2}R_{1}^{p_{k}+2} + 2\mu _{1}\mu _{2}p_{k}R_{1}^{p_{k}+2} - R_{2}^{p_{k}+3}R_{1}\nonumber \\&\qquad \quad -2\mu _{2}R_{2}^{p_{k}+2}R_{1} -\mu _{1}p_{k}R_{2}^{p_{k}+3} - 2\mu _{1}\mu _{2}p_{k}R_{2}^{k+2} \end{aligned}$$
(39)
$$\begin{aligned}&h_{2k}=2\mu _{2}\mu _{1}p_{k}R_{2}^{p_{k}+2} R_{1}^{2p_{k}} - 2\mu _{2}R_{2}^{p_{k}+2} R_{1}^{2p_{k}+1} + \mu _{1} p_{k} R_{2}^{p_{k}+3}R_{1}^{2p_{k}} - R_{2}^{p_{k}+3}R_{1}^{2p_{k}+1}\nonumber \\&\qquad \quad - 2 \mu _{1}\mu _{2}p_{k}R_{2}^{2p_{k}}R_{1}^{p_{k}+2} + \mu _{2}p_{k}R_{2}^{2p_{k}}R_{1}^{p_{k}+3} - 2\mu _{1} R_{2}^{2p_{k}+1} R_{1}^{p_{k}+1}+R_{2}^{2p_{k}+1} R_{1}^{p_{k}+3} \end{aligned}$$
(40)
The determination of the torsional function of the cylindrically orthotropic cross section \(A_{2}\) is based on the coupled system of partial differential equations (17) and (18). In this section we use the next designation \(\omega _{2}=\omega \). According to Eqs. (17) and (18) we have
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial \omega }{\partial r}=\frac{1}{r G_{r}} \frac{\partial U}{\partial \varphi } \qquad \frac{\partial \omega }{\partial \varphi } = -\frac{r}{G_{\varphi }} \frac{\partial U}{\partial r}-r^{2} \end{aligned}$$
(41)
The solution of system of partial differential equation for \(\omega =\omega (r,\varphi )\) is as follows
$$\begin{aligned} \omega (r,\varphi )=\sum \limits _{k=1}^{\infty } \left( \frac{a_{k}}{g} r ^{p_{k}} - \frac{b_{k}}{g}r^{-p_{k}} + \frac{c_{k}\lambda _{k}}{2} r^{2}\right) \cos \lambda _{k}\varphi \end{aligned}$$
(42)
This solution is vanishes on the axis of symmetry of the cross section \(A_{2}\) \((\varphi =\alpha /2)\). Since the size of thickness of shell-like cross-sectional component is very small we assume that \(\omega _{i}=\omega _{i}(r,\varphi )\) \((i=1,3)\) can be represented as
$$\begin{aligned} \omega _{1}(r,\varphi ) =\omega (R_{1},\varphi ) \quad (r,\varphi )\in A_{1} \qquad \omega _{3}(r,\varphi ) = \omega (R_{2},\varphi )\quad (r,\varphi )\in A_{3} \end{aligned}$$
(43)
The torsional rigidity of the compound cross section is obtained by the application of Eq. (20). A simple computation gives the next results for S
$$\begin{aligned} S=S_{1} + S_{2} + S_{3} \end{aligned}$$
(44)
where
$$\begin{aligned}&S_{1} = 2 \int \limits _{R_{0}}^{R_{1}} \int \limits _{0}^{\alpha } r U_{1}(r,\varphi ) \mathrm{d} r\mathrm{d} \varphi \nonumber \\&\qquad = \sum \limits _{k=1}^{\infty } \frac{2 t_{1}}{3\lambda _{k}} \left( a_{k}R_{1}^{p_{k}} + b_{k}R_{1}^{-p_{k}} + c_{k}R_{1}^{2}\right) \left( 3R_{0} +2t_{1}\right) \sin ^{2}\frac{\lambda _{k}\alpha }{2} \end{aligned}$$
(45)
$$\begin{aligned}&S_{2}= 2 \int \limits _{R_{1}}^{R_{2}} \int \limits _{0}^{\alpha } r U_{2}(r,\varphi ) \mathrm{d} r\mathrm{d} \varphi = 4\sum \limits _{k=1}^{\infty } \left[ a_{k}\frac{R_{2}^{p_{k}+2}-R_{1}^{p_{k}+2}}{\lambda _{k}(p_{k}+2)} \right. \nonumber \\&\qquad \quad \left. + b_{k}\frac{R_{2}^{-p_{k}+2} - R_{1}^{-p_{k}+2}}{\lambda _{k}(-p_{k}+2)} + \frac{c_{k}}{4\lambda _{k}}\left( R_{2}^{4}-R_{1}^{4}\right) \right] \sin ^{2}\frac{\lambda _{k}\alpha }{2} \end{aligned}$$
(46)
$$\begin{aligned}&S_{3}=2 \int \limits _{R_{2}}^{R_{3}} \int \limits _{0}^{\alpha } r U_{3}(r,\varphi ) \mathrm{d} r\mathrm{d} \varphi \nonumber \\&\qquad =\sum \limits _{k=1}^{\infty } \frac{2t_{2}}{3\lambda _{k}} \left( a_{k}R_{2}^{p_{k}} + b_{k}R_{2}^{-p_{k}} + c_{k}R_{2}^{2} \right) \left( 3R_{2} + 2 t_{2}\right) \sin ^{2}\frac{\alpha \lambda _{k}}{2} \end{aligned}$$
(47)
The analytical solution of isotropic homogeneous elastic wedge-shaped bar which was given by Madhavi A and Madhavi Y [7] is recovered from the solution of Saint-Venant torsion problem presented in Sect. 3 of this paper if
$$\begin{aligned} R_{0} = R_{1}, \quad R_{2}=R_{3}, \quad G_{1}=G_{2}=0, \quad \mu _{1}=\mu _{2}=0, \quad G_{r}=G_{\varphi } = G. \end{aligned}$$

6 Conclusion

In the present paper, the Saint-Venant torsion of the compound cylindrically orthotropic wedge-shaped bar has been studied. An analytical solution is given for the uniform torsion of the cylindrical orthotropic annular wedge shaped bar whose curved boundary segments are strengthened by thin isotropic elastic shells. The presented solution is valid for the vertex angle of compound cross section between 0 and \(2 \pi \). Closed form formulae are derived for the Prandtl’s stress function, torsion function, shearing stresses and torsional rigidity. Example illustrates the applications of the presented formulae.
