Determining the shear stress of a structural element caused by torsion is a vital problem. The analytical solution of the Saint-Venant torsion is only suitable for simple cross-sections. The numerical method to evaluate the shear stress of complicated cross-sections is indispensable. Many numerical methods have been studied by scientists. Among these studies, Gruttmann proposed an excellent numerical method, which inherited the Saint-Venant theory. However, the use of isoparametric four-noded quadrilateral elements made the method not to reach the best optimization. The objective of this paper is to improve Gruttmann‘s method by using isoparametric eight-noded quadrilateral elements. MATLAB is the language for programming the numerical method. The validated examples have demonstrated that the author’s numerical method is more effective than Gruttmann‘s method.
