Finally we multiply for D to obtain the resultant in red in fig. 2. We could think this resultant equal subdivided on each extremity of the half circumference. That means the moment acting on each section of the flange is: ! !! = ! !
Therefore, the load condition on the flange section is like in Fig. 3. Each section rotates of the same quantity, and there is no torque onto the sections. Fig. 4 shows a hypothetical torque: both equilibrium and symmetry conditions have to be satisfied, but this is impossible. The torque doesnt exist! The Fig. 5 helps us to get finally the rotation of the flange.
