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.

Key statement: A non-pneumatic resilient tire which derives its capacity to bear a load from laminated elements capable of supporting bending moments which include a stack of resilient sheets separated by a layer of rubber forming a beam capable of undergoing bending stress. You get a big bending moment and a high displace- ment. Local shrinkage variations introduce a bending moment to the geometry and thus cause warpage -- or, if the part is constrained, introduce residual stresses that can substantially reduce component life, and whose structural effects are very difficult to predict using conventional analytical tools. |
