Maximum bending stress in plates 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 σ. Maximum Bending Stress in Plates is usually measured using the Megapascal for Pressure. Note that the value of Maximum Bending Stress in Plates is always positive. Typically, the value of Maximum Bending Stress in Plates is greater than 0.
