Definitions for "Torsion"
That force with which a thread, wire, or rod of any material, returns, or tends to return, to a state of rest after it has been twisted; torsibility.
Intestine twisted off; torsion of uterus in mare in which uterus is twisted shut at neck.
Type of load that is applied by a couple of forces (parallel and directed opposite to each other) about the long axis of a structure.
In topology, torsion is the name for certain topological invariants that behave similarly to the algebraic torsion (subgroups of finite-order elements) of homology groups. Examples include the Reidemeister-Schreier torsion of a group acting on a finite complex; and also the analytic torsion defined using Laplacians.
In abstract algebra, the notion of torsion relates to commutative modules. Let R be a commutative ring and M an R-module. An element of m is called a torsion element if there is a non-zero divisor in R such that r annihilates m (i.e. rm=0).
