torsion


torsion,

stress on a body when external forces tend to twist it about an axis. See strength of materialsstrength of materials,
measurement in engineering of the capacity of metal, wood, concrete, and other materials to withstand stress and strain. Stress is the internal force exerted by one part of an elastic body upon the adjoining part, and strain is the deformation or change in

Torsion

 

(in strength of materials), a type of deformation characterized by rotation of the cross sections of a rod or shaft relative to one another under the influence of moments (force couples) acting in them. Upon torsion, the cross sections of round rods or shafts remain plane; upon torsion of a prismatic bar, warping of the cross section takes place (it does not remain plane). If the warping is different in various sections, then normal stresses also arise in the cross sections of the rod, in addition to tangential stresses. In this case the torsion is called constrained. In free torsion, in which the warping in all sections is identical, only tangential stresses arise in the cross section.

In practice, the most common type of torsion is torsion of a round, straight rod (Figure 1). As a result of the torsion moment Mt tangential stresses τ arise in the cross sections of the rod, and the rod segments (separated by distance l) are rotated relative to each other by an angle of twist ϕ. The angle of twist per unit length of the rod is called the relative angle of twist Θ. In free torsion, the relative angle of twist and the maximum tangential stresses τmax in the elastic phase are found from the formulas

θ = Mt/GIt τmax = Mt/Wt

where G is the elastic shear modulus and It and Wt are the arbitrary moment of inertia and the sectional modulus of torsion. In round sections, It is a polar moment of inertia Ip = πr4/2, and Wt is a polar moment of resistance Wp = πr3/2. For rectangular sections with a greater side h and lesser side b, It = αhb3 and Wt = βhb2, where the coefficients α and β are determined according to the ratio h/b from a table. For narrow sections (h/b ≧ 10), it is possible to take α = β ≈ 1/3.

Figure 1. Torsion of a round shaft fastened at one end

For torsion of a round shaft in the elastic phase, the tangential stresses are distributed linearly throughout the cross section (Figure 2,a) and are determined by the formula τ = (Mt/ Iρ, where ρ is the distance from the axis of the shaft to the point of the section in question. In the elastic-plastic phase the torsional tangential stresses corresponding to the yield limit τy propagate from the surface toward the axis of the shaft (Figure 2,b). In the limiting state, the plastic zone extends to the axis of the shaft (Figure 2,c), and the limiting tortion moment for a round section is

Mlim = 2/3 (τyπr3)

The concept of torsion has also been extended to the action of internal tangential stresses arising during deformation of plates and casings.

Torsion

 

(mathematics), the measure of the deviation of a space curve from its osculating plane. The torsion of a curve at the point M is determined in the following manner. Let N be a variable point on a curve sufficiently close to M and let β be the acute angle between the osculating planes at M and N. The angle β is considered to be positive if as N approaches M a variable osculating plane appears to an observer looking from M to N to rotate in the counterclockwise direction; in the opposite case the angle β is considered to be negative. The limit of the ratio β/ΔS—where ΔS is the arc length MN —as N approaches M is called the torsion < of the curve at the point M:

torsion

[′tȯr·shən] (mathematics) The rate of change of the positive direction of the binormal of a space curve with respect to arc length along the curve; its sign is defined as positive if it is in the same direction as the principal normal, and negative if it is in the opposite direction. Also known as second curvature. (mechanics) A twisting deformation of a solid body about an axis in which lines that were initially parallel to the axis become helices.

torsion

The twisting of a structural member about its longitudinal axis by two equal and opposite torques, one at one end and the other at the opposite end.

torsion

Twisting or rotation, especially of a part that hangs loosely on a narrow support. Torsion may affect a loop of bowel or other organ and commonly results in dangerous obstruction to the blood supply of the part. Urgent surgical correction may be needed.

torsion

a phenomenon occurring in embryonic gastropods in which the visceral hump rotates through 180°.

Torsion

torsion 

Rotation of an eye about an anteroposterior axis. If the upper pole of the vertical meridian of the cornea appears to rotate inward, it is called intorsion, and outward, extorsion. If the eye rotates to the right it may be called dextrotorsion and if it rotates to the left it may be called laevotorsion. It may occur as a result of a head tilt, extraocular muscle weakness or rotation of the eye to a tertiary position. Syn. cycloductin; cyclorotation; torsional movement. See Donder's law; tertiary position; incongruous hemianopia.

tor·sion

(tōr'shŭn) 1. In dentistry, twisting or rotation of tooth part on its long axis. 2. Twisting cut end of an artery to arrest hemorrhage. [L. torsio, fr. torqueo, to twist]
