torsional constant
[tɔrˈʃənəl ˈkɑnstənt]
nounpl: torsional constants
constante de torção
1. A geometric property of a cross-section that measures its resistance to twisting or torsional deformation
The torsional constant is essential for calculating the angle of twist in a shaft under torsional load.
A constante de torção é essencial para calcular o ângulo de torção em um eixo sob carga de torção.
2. In engineering mechanics, the parameter that relates the applied torque to the resulting angle of twist per unit length
Engineers use the torsional constant to design shafts that can withstand specific torque values without excessive deformation.
Os engenheiros usam a constante de torção para projetar eixos que possam suportar valores de torque específicos sem deformação excessiva.
This is a technical term primarily used in engineering, physics, and mathematics education in both Brazil and Portugal. It is not subject to regional variations and maintains consistency across technical literature in both English and Portuguese-speaking countries.
