  2. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    The plastic section modulus is used to calculate a cross-section's capacity to resist bending after yielding has occurred across the entire section. It is used for determining the plastic, or full moment, strength and is larger than the elastic section modulus, reflecting the section's strength beyond the elastic range.

  3. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate perpendicular to the plane of the plate under the action of external forces and moments. The amount of deflection can be determined by solving the differential equations of an appropriate plate theory .

  4. Plastic moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_Moment

    In structural engineering, the plastic moment (M p) is a property of a structural section. It is defined as the moment at which the entire cross section has reached its yield stress . This is theoretically the maximum bending moment that the section can resist – when this point is reached a plastic hinge is formed and any load beyond this ...

  5. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    The plate elastic thickness (usually referred to as effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere). The elastic properties of the plate; The applied load or force; As flexural rigidity of the plate is determined by the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and cube of the plate's elastic thickness, it is a governing factor in both (1) and (2).

  6. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    In 1820, the French engineer A. Duleau derived analytically that the torsion constant of a beam is identical to the second moment of area normal to the section J zz, which has an exact analytic equation, by assuming that a plane section before twisting remains planar after twisting, and a diameter remains a straight line. Unfortunately, that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    is the elastic modulus and is the second moment of area of the beam's cross section. I {\\displaystyle I} must be calculated with respect to the axis which is perpendicular to the applied loading. [ N 1 ] Explicitly, for a beam whose axis is oriented along x {\\displaystyle x} with a loading along z {\\displaystyle z} , the beam's cross section ...

  8. Flexural modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_modulus

    Flexural modulus measurement For a 3-point test of a rectangular beam behaving as an isotropic linear material, where w and h are the width and height of the beam, I is the second moment of area of the beam's cross-section, L is the distance between the two outer supports, and d is the deflection due to the load F applied at the middle of the ...

  9. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads. Of the numerous plate theories that have been developed since the late 19th century, two are widely accepted and used in engineering. These are the Kirchhoff–Love theory of plates (classical plate theory)
