- Tortuosity: a tortuous and twisted shape or position; "they built a tree house in the tortuosities of its boughs"; "the acrobat performed incredible contortions"
- A twisting force
- The term torsion may refer the following: *In geometry: ** Torsion of a curve ** Torsion tensor in differential geometry ** The closely related concepts of Reidemeister torsion (also called R-torsion, Franz torsion, de Rham torsion) and analytic torsion (also called Ray-Singer torsion)n** ...
- Torsion is an anatomical event which takes place during the very early part of the life of snails and slugs of all kinds. In other words, torsion is a gastropod synapomorphy which occurs in all gastropods during larval development. ...
- In solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque. In circular sections, the resultant shearing stress is perpendicular to the radius.
- 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; That force with which a thread ...
