Torsional rigidity of a composite shaft in parallel
Your expression is correct, the proof is carried out below for the left segment of the composite bars:
From static force equilibrium, we have
$T = T_1 + T_2$ ----- (1)
Furthermore, the angle of twist $...

Determining the angle theta at the Mohr's Circle
There are two different angle $\theta$'s. one is the normal stress angle $\theta_p $between the stress axis, X, and point a(x,s) on the mohr circle.
The other is shear stress angle $\theta_s$ from the ...
