If a wheel is ridden with this torsional stress left in the spokes, they may untwist and cause the wheel to become out of true.

Twisting off is when the drill string parts by failing catastrophically under the torsional stress.

However, cyclic axial stresses and cyclic torsional stresses also exist.

Cyclical torsional stresses are stresses repetitively applied tangent to an axis.

In order to accommodate the increase in torsional stresses an entirely new steel alloy (GE1014) had to be created and then machined to extreme tolerances.

By turning the magnets, torsional stress can be applied to the DNA molecule.

In the high force regime, the extension is nearly independent of the applied torsional stress.

When the nanoscale plasmonic motor is used, torsional stress will built up in the molecule by holding the rotor bead stationary using fluid flow.

It is a fibrocartilage band on the lateral side of the knee joint and can easily be injured with torsional stress or direct force.

It is usually caused by torsional stress; twisting or turning of the knee too quickly with the foot planted on the ground while the knee is flexed.
