| Flexural center | Mining | With reference to a beam, the flexural center of any section is that point in the plane of the section through which a transverse load, applied at that section, must act if bending deflection only is to be produced, with no twist of the section. Also called shear center. Cf: torsional center; elastic center; elastic axis. (references) | |
| Flexural fatigue strength | Transportation | Maximum stress that can be sustained for specified flexure without failure. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Flexural moment | Physics | Is equal to the algebraic sum of all moments to the right of the section of a beam (or to the left of the section). Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Flexural pivot | Mechanical Engineering | Unlike ball bearings, flexural pivots allow only a limited degree of clockwise or counterclockwise movement, usually less than 60 degrees in either direction. This movement is controlled by a flexible spring mounted inside a cylindrical casing and is so free of friction that the displacement can be very precisely calibrated. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Flexural rigidity | Meteorology & Standards | Bending resistance determined by measurement of bending force. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Flexural slip | Mining | The slipping of sedimentary strata along bedding planes during folding. (references) | |
| Flexural strength | Meteorology & Standards | The maximum tensile stress or compressive stress which a material subjected to bending can take before breaking. Source: European Union. (references) | |
