Abstract
A simple algorithm to calculate the maximum torsional load for a cylindrical shaft is presented. The algorithm is based on the notion of viscosity solutions to the eikonal equation, and is not restricted to simply-connected cross-sections. Applications to other, related problems, such as ferromagnetic thin films, and elastic buckling of thin film blisters are also discussed.
