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 Kilonewton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Bending Moment is always negative.
Can the Bending Moment be negative?
Yes, the Bending Moment, measured in Moment of Force can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Bending Moment?
Bending Moment is usually measured using the Kilonewton Meter[kN*m] for Moment of Force. Newton Meter[kN*m], Millinewton Meter[kN*m], Micronewton Meter[kN*m] are the few other units in which Bending Moment can be measured.
