Bending Moment in Design of Shafts Formulas

The Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend. And is denoted by M_b. Bending Moment is usually measured using the Newton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Bending Moment is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Bending Moment?

The Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend. Bending Moment is usually measured using the Newton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Bending Moment is always positive.

Can the Bending Moment be negative?

No, the Bending Moment, measured in Moment of Force cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Bending Moment?

Bending Moment is usually measured using the Newton Meter[N*m] for Moment of Force. Kilonewton Meter[N*m], Millinewton Meter[N*m], Micronewton Meter[N*m] are the few other units in which Bending Moment can be measured.
