torque concentration
[tɔːrk kɑːnsenˈtreɪʃən]
nounpl: torque concentrations
concentração de torque
1. A localized increase in torque (rotational force) at a specific point in a mechanical system, typically caused by geometric discontinuities, stress risers, or design features that create uneven distribution of rotational stress
The shaft failed at the shoulder fillet due to torque concentration caused by the abrupt change in diameter.
O eixo falhou no arredondamento do ombro devido à concentração de torque causada pela mudança abrupta no diâmetro.
2. In engineering, the factor by which the maximum torque stress exceeds the nominal stress at a particular cross-section
Engineers must account for torque concentration factors when designing shafts and axles to prevent premature failure.
Os engenheiros devem considerar fatores de concentração de torque ao projetar eixos e árvores de transmissão para evitar falhas prematuras.
This term is primarily used in engineering, mechanical design, and materials science contexts in both Brazil and Portugal. In Brazilian industry, it appears frequently in automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery sectors. The concept is critical in failure analysis and preventive maintenance practices in industrial settings.
