torsional section
[tɔrˈʃənəl ˈsɛkʃən]
nounpl: torsional sections
seção de torção
1. A cross-sectional property of a structural member that describes its resistance to twisting or rotational deformation
The engineer calculated the torsional section modulus to ensure the shaft could withstand the applied torque.
O engenheiro calculou o módulo de seção de torção para garantir que o eixo pudesse suportar o torque aplicado.
2. In mechanics of materials, the geometric properties of a cross-section relevant to torsional stress analysis
The torsional section properties were determined through finite element analysis.
As propriedades da seção de torção foram determinadas através de análise de elementos finitos.
This is specialized engineering and architectural terminology used in Brazil and Portugal for structural design and analysis. The term is consistent across both Brazilian and European Portuguese-speaking countries, though with minor spelling variations. It is commonly encountered in university engineering programs and professional engineering practice.
