Solid mechanics

A beam flexing under transverse load

In mechanics, bending (flexure) is the deformation of a slender member under a transverse load, which stretches the fibres on one face and compresses those on the other about a neutral axis that keeps its length. Timoshenko's History of Strength of Materials traces how Euler–Bernoulli beam theory related the curvature of the beam to the internal bending moment and the stiffness of its cross-section. The referent is a stress-and-deformation state in a structural element, measured in moments and stresses, with nothing in common with a river's curve or a knot beyond the shared word.[1]

The bending moment and resulting curvature and fibre stress in a loaded member

Measured by
Analysed through the bending moment, section modulus, and the stress and deflection they predict or that gauges record
