flexural

Example:The new beam design was tested for its flexural strength to ensure it could withstand the expected loads.

Definition:The maximum stress that a material can sustain when it is bent or flexed (without cracking or breaking).

Example:The flexural deformation of the concrete pillar was within the permissible limits after the earthquake.

Definition:The deflection or curvature of a material or structure under the influence of bending loads.

Example:Engineers calculated the flexural stress to ensure the bridge could support the expected traffic load without failure.

Definition:The intensity of a flexing load within a material that is developing along the axis of the bent section (stress component of bending moment).
