  1. Torsion (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    Through the use of a torsional resonator device, they are able to characterize the complex shear modulus of the tissue and assess its relative elastic and viscous behaviors.

  2. Mechanics of Materials: Torsion - Boston University

    One of the most common examples of torsion in engineering design is the power generated by transmission shafts. We can quickly understand how twist generates power just by doing a …

  3. TORSION Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    The meaning of TORSION is the twisting or wrenching of a body by the exertion of forces tending to turn one end or part about a longitudinal axis while the other is held fast or turned in the …

  4. Understanding Torsion: A Comprehensive Guide to Twisting Forces

    Torsion is a type of mechanical deformation experienced by an object when a twisting force is applied to it. In engineering, torsion is commonly observed in shafts and other cylindrical …

  5. 2.3: Shear and Torsion - Engineering LibreTexts

    Mar 28, 2025 · Torsionally loaded shafts are among the most commonly used structures in engineering. For instance, the drive shaft of a standard rear-wheel drive automobile, depicted …

  6. What Is Torsion Force? Definition & Examples - Biology Insights

    Aug 17, 2025 · Torsion is a type of stress that arises when an object is subjected to a twisting moment, known as torque. This force causes one section of an object to rotate relative to …

  7. TORSION Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com

    TORSION definition: the act of twisting. See examples of torsion used in a sentence.

  8. Torsion | Strength of Materials Review at MATHalino

    Consider a bar to be rigidly attached at one end and twisted at the other end by a torque or twisting moment T equivalent to F × d, which is applied perpendicular to the axis of the bar, as …

  9. Torsion (mechanics) | Research Starters | EBSCO Research

    Torsional stiffness, or rigidity, is the resistance of a shaft to twisting forces. For example, when a drill bit is biting into wood, the bit (shaft) is meeting with resistance from the wood—torque.

  10. Torsion - University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

    Torque and angle of twist follow the right hand rule sign convention. When positive, using the right hand, the thumb points outward from the shaft and the fingers will curl in the direction of the …
