Torsion (mathematics)

tor·sion (tôr

a. The act of twisting or turning.

b. The condition of being twisted or turned.

2. The stress or deformation caused when one end of an object is twisted in one direction and the other end is held motionless or twisted in the opposite direction.

[Middle English torcion, wringing pain in the bowels, from Old French torsion, from Late Latin torsi, torsin-, a wringing pain, variant of Latin torti, from tortus, past particple of torqure, to twist; see torsade.]

torsion·al adj.

torsion·al·ly adv.

torsion [ˈtɔːʃən]

1. (Engineering / Mechanical Engineering)

a. the twisting of a part by application of equal and opposite torques at either end

b. the condition of twist and shear stress produced by a torque on a part or component

2. the act of twisting or the state of being twisted

[from Old French, from medical Latin torsiō griping pains, from Latin torquēre to twist, torture]

torsional adj

torsionally adv

torsion (tôr

1. The stress on an object when torque is applied to it.

2. A mathematical operation in geometry measuring how tightly a plane is twisted.
