β¦ Synopsis
A lower bound is derived for the maximum stress in the torsion of cylindrical solids of simply-connected cross section. This bound, which is expressed in terms of the applied torque and the cross-sectional area, is isoperimetric in that it coincides with the maximum stress when the cross section is circular. It confirms the notion that given the applied torque and the area of the cross section, the least maximum stress occurs when the section is circular. Related isoperimetric upper bounds are derived for the minimum value of the stress at boundary points.

Upper and lower bounds are derived for the shear stress as it is determined by Saint-Venant's theory of flexure, and used to establish the asymptotic character of the classical Strength of Materials formula in the limit of vanishing thickness. ## RI~,SUMI~ On d6rive des limites sup6rieures et inf
