  2. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    Main quantities involved in bar torsion: is the angle of twist; T is the applied torque; L is the beam length. The torsion constant or torsion coefficient is a geometrical property of a bar's cross-section.

  3. Torsion (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_(mechanics)

    Torsion of a square section bar Example of torsion mechanics. In the field of solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque [1] [2].Torsion could be defined as strain [3] [4] or angular deformation [5], and is measured by the angle a chosen section is rotated from its equilibrium position [6].

  4. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    A twist is a screw used to represent the velocity of a rigid body as an angular velocity around an axis and a linear velocity along this axis. All points in the body have the same component of the velocity along the axis, however the greater the distance from the axis the greater the velocity in the plane perpendicular to this axis.

  5. Phase shift torque measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_shift_torque_measurement

    The twist of the shaft can be determined from the phase difference of the magnetically or optically detected wave pattern from each of the disks. [1] [2] Under no-load the waves are synchronised and as a load is applied to the shaft their phase difference increases. The shaft's angle of twist is determined from the measured phase difference.

  6. Twistronics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistronics

    Twistronics (from twist and electronics) is the study of how the angle (the twist) between layers of two-dimensional materials can change their electrical properties. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Materials such as bilayer graphene have been shown to have vastly different electronic behavior, ranging from non-conductive to superconductive , that depends ...

  7. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    In helical and worm gears, the helix angle denotes the standard pitch circle unless otherwise specified. [1] Application of the helix angle typically employs a magnitude ranging from 15° to 30° for helical gears, with 45° capping the safe operation limit. The angle itself may be cut with either a right-hand or left-hand orientation. [5]

  8. Quaternions and spatial rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial...

    3D visualization of a sphere and a rotation about an Euler axis (^) by an angle of In 3-dimensional space, according to Euler's rotation theorem, any rotation or sequence of rotations of a rigid body or coordinate system about a fixed point is equivalent to a single rotation by a given angle about a fixed axis (called the Euler axis) that runs through the fixed point. [6]

  9. Cavendish experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_experiment

    To find the wire's torsion coefficient, the torque exerted by the wire for a given angle of twist, Cavendish timed the natural oscillation period of the balance rod as it rotated slowly clockwise and counterclockwise against the twisting of the wire. For the first 3 experiments the period was about 15 minutes and for the next 14 experiments the ...
