Abstract
This is a continuation of our previous paper which dealt with solutions of Saint-Venants torsion problem for certain simply connected cross sections. The symmetric cross sections considered here are either curvilinear sections bounded by hyperbolic arcs of certain eccentricities or sectorial sections bounded by two straight lines and special curved bases. Exact closed expressions are established for the stress functions, torsional rigidities and shearing stresses. Numerical results are presented in the form of tables and graphs.
