flexural rigidity

Bending stiffness in beams is also known as Flexural rigidity.

The width of the outer rise is directly related to the flexural rigidity of the lithosphere.

Julian visited the lab during the month of August 1995, to initiate a project on measuring the flexural rigidity of whole fish.

The magnitude of this effect is difficult to estimate, but it will depend in part on the flexural rigidity of the lithosphere.

The type of geologic feature that will form is caused by stream power and flexural rigidity of the crust.

Flexural rigidity is in itself, a function of the lithospheric mineral composition, thermal regime, and effective elastic thickness.

Flexural rigidity of a plate (e.g. the lithosphere)

The casing - through its flexural rigidity - provides the lateral support against flexural buckling of the core.

Model testing has shown that need for such an increase can be eliminated by providing composite end diaphragms with high flexural rigidity in the horizontal plane.

The two factors influencing the development of these structures are stream power of the associated river and the flexural rigidity of the crust in the area.

Flexural rigidity has SI units of Pa m (which also equals N m2).

Modeling the Flexural Rigidity of Rod Photoreceptors.

The combination of increased stream power with decreased flexural rigidity results in the system's progression from a transverse anticline to a river anticline.

The inherently high torsional and flexural rigidity of this layout protects superstructures from the motions and forces on the axles.

In fact, it is thought that the low flexural rigidity of Archean plates perhaps made subduction initiation easier than it is today.

In particular, limited slip of shear studs is affected by the span length, flexural rigidity and level of shear connection.

Current code recommended values for flexural rigidity will generally lead to estimates of the periods of vibration and lateral deflections, which are on the low side.

Key words: secondary moment, effective flexural rigidity, end eccentricity ratio, single curvature, reverse curvature, load eccentricity, experimental, standard.

This paper critically examines the practice of analyzing such bridges for load distribution by methods that make the assumption of constant longitudinal torsional and flexural rigidities.

Key words: free flexural vibration, natural frequencies, ribbed plates, flexural rigidity, shear rigidity, modal synthesis.

The width and depth of the foreland basin is determined by the flexural rigidity of the underlying lithosphere, and the characteristics of the mountain belt.

In a beam or rod, flexural rigidity (defined as EI) varies along the length as a function of x shown in the following equation:

Flexural rigidities are EI, 2EI, EI respectively.

When a simple beam of length and flexural rigidity is loaded at each end with clockwise moments and , member end rotations occur in the same direction.

In calculating deflections of such decks, it is usual to ignore the reduction in flexural rigidity of the deck caused by the presence of the butt joint.
