I think torsional strain happens only when two groups are eclipsed in relation to their positions to each other. This strain can be relieved by rotation about the carbon carbon bond.

But steric strain can happen all the time. (when two groups are eclipsed, gauge or staggered in relation to each other.)

What is torsional force?

"Torsional strain" is the strain induced by applying torque. Basically, it is the strain imposed on a body by twisting it. (Such as the strain that a bolt endures when you use a wrench on it.)

What is difference between strain gauge and extensometer?

Strain gage and Extensometer both are same purpose to check the stress and strain in selective test pieces, but traditional they were using strain gage its take the preparation time is high and Extensometer we are check the directly both results are same.
