In […] mechanics, bending (also known as flexure) characterizes the behavior of a slender structural element [or body] subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the element [resp. body]. [1]
In the absence of a qualifier, the term bending is ambiguous because bending can occur locally in all objects. Therefore, to make the usage of the term more precise, engineers refer to a specific object such as: the bending of rods, the bending of beams, the bending of plates, the bending of shells, [etc.]. [1]
The bending causes stresses in the body respectively the structural element which can be measured with methods known from general measurement of stresses.
