torsion function [′tȯr·shən ‚fəŋk·shən]

(mechanics)

A harmonic function, φ(x,y) =w/τ, expressing the warping of a cylinder undergoing torsion, where thex,y,andzcoordinates are chosen so that the axis of torsion lies along thezaxis,wis thezcomponent of the displacement, and τ is the torsion angle. Also known as warping function.
