flexural center
Isaac Kremer/ November 23, 2025/ / 0 comments
Also called the shear center, is the point in a beam’s cross-section through which a transverse load must be applied to cause bending without twisting. It is the point where the resultant shear force is applied to produce pure bending in the beam’s cross-section. This point depends on the cross-sectional shape and is not always at the centroid.
