Curvature equals moment divided by flexural rigidity.The formula is given by:
Where:
- is the curvature of the structural member,
- is the bending moment applied to the member,
- EÂ is the modulus of elasticity (Young’s modulus) of the material,
- IÂ is the moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area of the member about the axis of bending.
