Hello, I need to input the bending stress from a database I am not sure what name it is, would it be yield strength or tensile strength? thanks
A stress is not a strength.John1661 said:Hello, I need to input the bending stress from a database I am not sure what name it is, would it be yield strength or tensile strength? thanks

Please post full details of the problem.
Bending stress, also known as flexural stress, is a type of stress that occurs in an object when it is subjected to a bending force or moment. It is caused by the distribution of internal forces acting on the object, resulting in tension on one side and compression on the other.
Besides bending stress and flexural stress, this type of stress may also be referred to as flexion stress, transverse stress, or lateral stress. These terms all describe the same phenomenon of stress caused by bending or curving an object.
Bending stress can occur in any situation where an object is being bent or curved. This could be due to an external force, such as a person standing on a plank, or an internal force, such as a beam supporting a load. Bending stress can also occur naturally, such as in the branches of a tree swaying in the wind.
The magnitude of bending stress can be calculated using the formula σ = Mc/I, where σ represents stress, M represents the bending moment, c represents the distance from the neutral axis to the outermost point of the object, and I represents the moment of inertia. This formula is known as the flexure formula and is commonly used in engineering and physics.
Bending stress is a common occurrence in everyday life and can be seen in many objects and structures. Some examples include bridges, beams, bicycle frames, and even bones in the human body. It is an important factor to consider in the design and construction of many structures and can have significant effects on their strength and durability.
