SUMMARY
Axial, transverse, and torsional directions are fundamental concepts in mechanics. Axial direction refers to linear movement along the length of an object, while transverse direction denotes movement perpendicular to that length. Torsional direction involves rotational movement around the object's length. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for applications in engineering and physics.
