The landing struts of an aircraft are under compression after landing. Torsion is resistance to twisting. A torsional force is produced when an engine turns a crankshaft. Torque is the force that produces torsion. Tension is resistance to being pulled apart or stretched.
Tension is produced by two forces pulling in opposite directions along the same straight line.
Pilots put the cables of a control system under tension when they operate the controls. Bending is a combination of tension and compression. The inside curve of the bend is under compression, and the outside curve is under tension. Helicopter main rotor blades are subjected to bending. Shear is the stress exerted when two pieces of metal fastened together are separated by sliding one over the other in opposite directions.
