"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 a force trying to twist a structure called?

A force trying to twist a structure is often referred to as torsional force. This force creates a twisting motion in the structure, causing it to deform and potentially lead to failure if not properly accounted for in the design. Torsional forces are common in structures subjected to loads that produce rotational or twisting effects.


Does the torsional pendulum depend on acceleration due to gravity?

Yes, the period of a torsional pendulum does depend on the acceleration due to gravity. The period is given by the formula T = 2π√(I/κ), where I is the moment of inertia and κ is the torsional spring constant, and both of these factors are influenced by gravity.


Is torsional critical speed the same as torsional Analysis?

Torsional analysis: This analysis completed based on strcture properties like Mass MI and Torsional stiffness. Torsional critical speed analysis: Speed of rotor will come into picture in addition to Mass MI and Torsional stiffness of the structure.


In a torsion catapult what are the forces that act upon it?

In a torsion catapult, the main forces that act upon it are the torsional force applied to the twisted rope or spring when it is released, the gravitational force pulling the projectile downward, and air resistance opposing the motion of the projectile through the air. The torsional force causes the arm of the catapult to rotate and launch the projectile forward.


How did coulomb measure the force between electric charge?

He used a torsional device to accurately measure force. He'd hook one charged spherical ball onto the torsional device then place another charged sphere a distance away from the other. The electrical force would push the sphere on the torsional device and he would measure the tension change. This gave him a measurable force. As for describing the torsional device, think of a ball held in the air tied on both top and bottom by a string. By tightening the string until it negates gravity (hold it so the strings are parallel to the ground then tighten till it the ball is centered.) Then when the electrical force is applied, you can measure the force needed to tighten it to return to the center again.


What type of force act when you twist wet clothes to squeeze out water?

When you twist wet clothes to squeeze out water, you are applying a torsional force. This force causes the fibers of the fabric to deform and release the water trapped within them.


What type of force is when something is twisted?

The force when something is twisted is torsional force. It causes an object to rotate around an axis due to the application of torque. This force typically occurs in structures like shafts, springs, and other components prone to twisting.


What is torsional rigidity of a shaft?

It is defined as ratio of the product of modulus of rigidity and polar moment of inertia to the length of the shaft. Torsional Rigidity is caluclated as: Torsional Rigidity= C J/l


What is torsional critical speed?

The term torsional critical speed of centrifugal pumps and associated drive equipment refers to the speed of a pump rotor or related rotating system that corresponds to a resonant frequency of torsional vibration of the rotating system. Torsional critical speeds are associated with torsional or angular deflection of the rotor and are not to be confused with lateral critical speeds associated with lateral deflection. The two are separate entities. A given rotor or rotating system may possess more than one torsional resonant frequency or torsional critical speed. The lowest frequency which produces the "first mode shape" and "first torsional critical speed" is in general of the most concern. Torsional vibration is caused by torsional excitation from sources such as variable frequency drive motor toque pulsations, combustion engine torque spikes and impeller vane pass pulsation. The calculation of the first torsional critical speed is fairly simple for simple rotor systems.


How do you calculate braking torque?

To calculate brake torque, multiply force with the distance from the point of rotation. Force is equal to the torsional reaction caused by the brakes, and is also equal in magnitude to the torque exerted by the road.
