bending moment [′ben·diŋ ‚mō·mənt]
(mechanics)
Algebraic sum of all moments located between a cross section and one end of a structural member; a bending moment that bends the beam convex downward is positive, and one that bends it convex upward is negative.

bending moment
The moment which produces bending at a section of a beam or other structural member; equal to the sum of moments taken about the center of gravity of that section.

The bending moment was found to contribute 18% of the output signal of our transducer, and we therefore used a correction factor of 0.
Sections are also devoted to experimental studies and numerical simulations used to investigate seismic damage behavior and kinematic bending moments for columns, masonry, pipes and window openings.
In addition to the axial load and biaxial bending moment calculations, the resistances of the column against shear forces, which can be critical for upper floors especially against earthquake loads, were also investigated.
