Why is the torsional performance of hollow circular section better than that of solid circular section?

The torsional performance of hollow circular section is better than that of solid circular section.

Because the torque on the cross section is mainly borne by the material near the surface of the circular shaft, the material near the central part has almost no bearing effect. If the material in the center is moved to the edge to make it a hollow shaft, not only the stress increases, but also the radius increases, which can provide greater torque and the bearing capacity of the shaft can be effectively improved.
