Shafts
• This type of elements appear in rotary
machines (motors, Generators ...etc.)
• It resists deformations only by torsional
resistance

For no external torque the equation
of motion becomes:
, wave speed
We can follow the same procedure used to solve string and
bar equations

Initial and boundary conditions
• Two spatial conditions (boundary conditions)
• Two time conditions (initial conditions)
• See table 6.3 for a list of conditions
