stiffness matrix for torsional beam

Submitted by ashwin.devotta on

I would like to know how to write a stiffness matrix for a bar under torsional load. I would like to write a code in C++ to do this. I would like to know of any material regarding this.

Thanks in advance

This problem has been solved for bar with arbitrary cross-sectional shape and arbitrary material including composites. A general-purpose cross-sectional analysis tool VABS , is also avaible for computing not only torsional stiffness but also all the other stiffness including coupling coefficients between different deformation modes.
