Shear center
From StructuralWiki
Shear center is the point through which the applied loads must pass to product bending without twisting. Shear center is the location in a cross-section where no torsion occurs when flexural shears act in planes passing through that location. In other words, forces acting through the shear center will cause no torsional stresses to develop.
