WHAT DOES TORSIONAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

torsional

Torsion (mechanics)

In solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque. It is expressed in newton metres or foot-pound force. In sections perpendicular to the torque axis, the resultant shear stress in this section is perpendicular to the radius. For shafts of uniform cross-section the torsion is: where: ▪ T is the applied torque or moment of torsion in Nm. ▪ is the maximum shear stress at the outer surface ▪ JT is the torsion constant for the section. It is identical to the second moment of area Jzz for concentric circular tubes or round solid shafts only. For other shapes, J must be determined by other means. For solid shafts, the membrane analogy is useful, and for thin-walled tubes of arbitrary shape, the shear flow approximation is fairly good, if the section is not re-entrant. For thick-walled tubes of arbitrary shape, there is no simple solution, and finite element analysis may be the best method. ▪ r is the distance between the rotational axis and the farthest point in the section. ▪ is the length of the object the torque is being applied to or over.

Definition of torsional in the English dictionary

The definition of torsional in the dictionary is of or relating to the twisting of a part by application of equal and opposite torques at either end. Other definition of torsional is of or relating to the act of twisting or the state of being twisted.
