== Introduction == When an object formed of a single material, like a wooden beam or a steel rod, is bent (Fig. 1), it experiences a range of stresses across its depth (Fig. 2). At the edge of the object on the inside of the bend (concave face) the stress will be at its maximum compressive stress value. At the outside of the bend (convex face) the...
The resistance at failure of a beam subjected to bending
Maximum fiber stress developed in a specimen just before it cracks or breaks in a flexure test. Flexural Yield Strength is reported instead of flexural strength for materials that do not crack in the flexure test. An alternate term is modulus of rupture.
Strength of a material in bending, usually expressed in force per unit area, as the stress of a bent test sample at the instant of failure.
the strength of a material in bending expressed as the stress if a bent test sample at the instant of failure.
the strength of a material in bending, expressed as the tensile stress of the outermost fibers of a bent test specimen at the instant of failure.
The strength of a material in bending, expressed as the tensile stress of the outermost fibers of a bent test specimen at the instant of failure.
A property of a solid that indicates its ability to withstand bending. See also: Young's Modulus.
A property of a solid that indicates its ability to withstand bending.
A property of a material or structural member that indicates its ability to resist failure in bending. See also Modulus of Rupture.
Ability of a material to flex without permanent distortion or breaking.
the outer fiber stress, which must be attained in order to produce a given deformation under a beam load.
