Abstract
This paper deals with the torsion of the body of rotation. The meridian section of the body is bounded by two ellipses and two straight lines which are perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the body. The material of the body is elastic and cylindrical orthotropic. To solve the torsion problem, the theory of the torsion of shafts of varying circular cross-sections is used, which was developed by Mitchell and Töppl. An analytical solution is given for the shearing stresses and circumferential displacement. A numerical example illustrates the application of the presented analytical solution. The results of this paper can be used as a benchmark solution to verify the accuracy of the results computed by finite element simulations and finite different methods.
