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
The discussion centers on identifying the correct terminology for bending stress in a materials database. The user is utilizing the engineers' theory of bending, specifically the equation M/I = E/R = o/y, with given values such as a bending moment of 11.408 Nm and Young's modulus of 6828 x 10^10 pascals. It is clarified that bending stress is not synonymous with yield strength or tensile strength, but rather the maximum bending stress a material can withstand, which aligns with tensile strength when under tension.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, materials scientists, and students studying structural mechanics who need to understand the terminology and calculations related to bending stress in materials.
