Section modulus is a geometric property that measures the strength of a cross-section against bending. It is used in engineering design to ensure structures can support loads without failing or deforming excessively.

Bending refers to the deformation of a structural element under load, resulting in a curved shape. It is a critical concept in structural engineering and materials science, influencing the design and analysis of beams, plates, and other structural components.

Bending

Engineering design is a systematic and iterative process that transforms a set of requirements into a functional and optimized product or system. It involves problem-solving, creativity, and the application of scientific principles to meet specified needs while considering constraints such as cost, safety, and environmental impact.
