With J written in terms of the parameter d/D:

J=π32D41-d4D4=π32D41-dD4

and knowing that c=D/2, the term J/c can be written as:

Jc=π16D31-dD4

The elastic torsion formula can now be expressed in terms of the unknown outside diameter D and the parameter d/D:

Jc=π16D31-dD4=Tτ

and thus:

D3=16πTτ1-dD4
