How do you use Torsion in a sentence? See 10+ example sentences showing how this word appears in different contexts, including synonyms like contortion or crookedness, plus the exact meaning.
Torsion meaning
- 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.
- A finite order element of a group that, when raised to a positive integer power results in the identity element of the group.
- An element of a homology or cohomology group for which there exists a non-zero integer that, when the element is multiplied by that integer, yields zero.
