Definition von torsion im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
That force with which a thread, wire, or rod of any material, returns, or tends to return, to a state of rest after it has been twisted; torsibility
The act of turning or twisting, or the state of being twisted; the twisting or wrenching of a body by the exertion of a lateral force tending to turn one end or part of it about a longitudinal axis, while the other is held fast or turned in the opposite direction
1 A motion or state where one end of a part is twisted about a longitudinal axis while the opposite end is held fast or turned in the opposite direction 2 Motion of the sacrum about an oblique axis, with sacral rotation opposite to rotation of L5 3 An unphysiologic motion pattern about an anteroposterior axis of the sphenobasilar symphysis/synchondrosis
Torsion is a twisting effect on something such as a piece of metal or an organ of the body. the twisting of a piece of metal (torsus, past participle of torquere; TORQUE)
An "L" shaped tool used in lockpicking to apply torsion to the inner cylinder of a lock, in order to hold any picked pins in place, while the other pins are shifted, and then to turn the inner cylinder and open the lock
An instrument with which small forces, as of electricity or magnetism, are measured by means of the torsion they produce in a wire or slender rod. Device used to measure the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface. It consists essentially of two small masses at different elevations that are supported at opposite ends of a beam. The latter is suspended from a wire that twists because the masses are affected differently by the force of gravity. When the wire is twisted, an optical system indicates the angle of deflection, and the torque, or twisting force, can be calculated. The torque is correlated with the gravitational force at the point of observation. Torsion balance may also refer to a device used in weighing, a type of equal-arm balance
A long straight bar fastened to the frame at one end and to a suspension part at the other In effect, a torsion bar is merely an uncoiled spring, and spring action is produced by twisting the bar The main advantage of the torsion bar over the coil spring in the front suspension is the ease of adjusting the front suspension height
A part of an automotive suspension consisting of a bar that twists to maintain stability. Rod or bar that resists twisting (see torque) and has a strong tendency to return to its original position when twisted. In an automobile, a torsion bar is a long spring-steel element with one end held rigidly to the frame and the other end twisted by a lever connected to the axle. It thus provides a spring action for the vehicle
(Otomotiv) These are connected to the control arms to compensate for loads and to allow the front wheels to move up and down freely on uneven road surfaces
Of or pertaining to torsion; resulting from torsion, or the force with which a thread or wire returns to a state of rest after having been twisted round its axis; as, torsional force
