The torsional rigidity comes from the torso. The lateral rigidity would come from the arms and the legs becoming stiff.

What is the difference between axial and angular alignment?

Angular alignment: the relationship between 2 lines, planes, etc. that create an angle between them (as in the angle formed in the letter A). The correct angulation dictates if they are in alignment or not (e.g. if you want a wide A, with an angle of 60 degrees but you print a narrow A of 30 degrees you would say it's not aligned). Axial: there are 2 types - rotational and lateral. Rotational - e.g. - wheels of a car must be parallel. If they slant towards each other (facing either up or down) they are in rotational misalignment. Lateral - e.g. taking the same wheels, if front wheels are wider apart than normal, they are in lateral axial misalignment. Hope this helps.


What is lateral displacement?

This is where your implant has migrated to the side towards the armpit. I believe it's the same concept as bottoming out, but side to side. From what I've read, I think this complication has more to do with the over dissection of the pocket, whereas bottoming out can be a combination of that and gravity.


How liquid exerts lateral pressure?

Simple idea: All objects are made of atoms and/or molecules. The molecules in a liquid move at random directions. some of them move vertically, and some horizontally. Most of them, however, move in a combination of the two. To make the answer more simple, the horizontal components of the motion of the molecules collide with a lateral direction with the object (submarine, diver, container wall, etc). The collision between the molecule and the object exerts a lateral force, which acts on an area. Hence lateral pressure is applied.

What is torsional critical speed?

The term torsional critical speed of centrifugal pumps and associated drive equipment refers to the speed of a pump rotor or related rotating system that corresponds to a resonant frequency of torsional vibration of the rotating system. Torsional critical speeds are associated with torsional or angular deflection of the rotor and are not to be confused with lateral critical speeds associated with lateral deflection. The two are separate entities. A given rotor or rotating system may possess more than one torsional resonant frequency or torsional critical speed. The lowest frequency which produces the "first mode shape" and "first torsional critical speed" is in general of the most concern. Torsional vibration is caused by torsional excitation from sources such as variable frequency drive motor toque pulsations, combustion engine torque spikes and impeller vane pass pulsation. The calculation of the first torsional critical speed is fairly simple for simple rotor systems.

Difference between horizontal and lateral?

Horizontal is flat, going from one side to the other, as in a horizontal line. ___ Lateral means to one side (or the other) or of one side. Lateral is a term often used in medicine and nursing. Example: The right lateral aspect of the woman's left leg was severely bruised.
