We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Torsional Rigidity",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Torque sensor suits tough environments from
Kistler Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "The flange-to-flange configuration of Kistler's 4504A torque sensor allows fitting from one side only, making it easy to install in-line with a wide range of test rigs".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Flexible beam couplings are torsionally rigid from
Ruland Manufacturing Co: "Compared with typical beam couplings that have fewer spiral cuts, F-series couplings are more resistive to wind-up and have a higher torque capacity".
In November 2006, we covered the news from SolidWorks Corporation
concerning its CosmosWorks and CosmosMotion
- take a look at Analysis software speeds slicers to food market
which says: "Software helps engineers choose the most promising designs for slicers and sanitation equipment by comparing and contrasting features and performance in virtual design environment".
Take a look also at the news release from Machine Building Systems, Profile system switches to stainless steel,
as well as Large diameter bearings slim for record breaker from Wyko, an Eriks Company,
and High Performance from Lightweight Parker Gearboxes from Parker Hannifin.
