On Kelvin's formula for torsion of thin cylinders
This paper presents a version of Bredt's method in curvilinear coordinates for treating the elastic torsion of thin-walled cylinders. The author confirms the well-known result that Bredt's method is not valid for thin-walled open sections. Some historical considerations about the theory of torsion are incorrect.
