torsion section modulus
[/ˈtɔːrʃən ˈsɛkʃən ˈmɒdjələs/]
nounpl: torsion section moduli
módulo de seção de torção
1. A geometric property of a cross-section that measures its resistance to torsional stress or twisting deformation. It is used in engineering to calculate shear stress and angle of twist in structural members subjected to torque.
The engineer calculated the torsion section modulus to ensure the shaft could withstand the applied torque without excessive twisting.
O engenheiro calculou o módulo de seção de torção para garantir que o eixo pudesse suportar o torque aplicado sem deformação excessiva.
2. A dimensionless or dimensional measure (depending on context) used in structural mechanics, particularly in the design of beams, shafts, and columns subjected to torsional loading.
A larger torsion section modulus indicates greater resistance to twisting and is desirable in shaft design.
Um módulo de seção de torção maior indica maior resistência à torção e é desejável no projeto de eixos.
This is a technical term used universally in engineering education and practice across both Brazil and Portugal. It appears in structural engineering textbooks, university curricula, and professional engineering standards (NBR in Brazil, NP in Portugal). No colloquial or regional variations exist as it is purely technical terminology.
