Three Dimensions xi. 270 Following the analogy of the radius of curvature which is ds/dθ, the later French writers denote the quantity ds/dη by the letter r, and call it the radius of torsion. 1945 Amer. Math. Monthly 52 221 R2 = ρ2 + τ2ρ′2, where τ is the radius of torsion of the curve. 1997 Internat. Jrnl. Solids & Structures 34 2499 For a skew line we have to define also the radius of torsion. radius of torsion e. Mathematics. The degree to which a curve departs from being planar at any given point, measured by the rate of change of the angle of the osculating plane or the binormal with respect to distance along the curve; radius of torsion, the reciprocal of this.

Three Dimensions xi. 269 The angle made with each other by two consecutive osculating planes..we shall call the angle of torsion, and denote by dη. 1862 G. Salmon Treat. Analytic Geom. Three Dimensions xi. 270 Following the analogy of the radius of curvature which is ds/dθ, the later French writers denote the quantity ds/dη by the letter r, and call it the radius of torsion. 1939 Burington & Torrance Higher Math. vi. 711 Torsion is agreed to be positive when the rotation (with s increasing) of the binormal increases in the same sense as that of a right-handed screw traveling in the direction of t. 1978 E. C. Young Vector & Tensor Anal. ii. 106 The torsion of a plane curve is zero, just as the curvature of a straight line is zero. < as lemmas |
