Secondary Torsional Moment Mt,sec Due to Torsion Induced by Axial Force

Secondary torsional moment Mt,sec on three torsional members subjected to tensile force, without axial force, and with compressive force in RFEM 6

Secondary torsional moment Mt,sec in three members subjected to a torsional moment of 1.2 kNm. Without axial force, Mt,sec is zero. Under tension, the axial-force-induced component is positive at 0.33 kNm; under compression, it is negative at −0.74 kNm. The sum of Mt,pri and Mt,sec is 1.2 kNm in all cases.
