Two forces combined in bending force

Compression and tension

Effect on one side during bending

Compression (squeezing)

Effect on opposite side during bending

Tension (stretching)

Why bending forces are complex

Combine compression & tension simultaneously

What material must handle in bending

Both compression and tension at once

Why material selection critical for bending

Must handle both compression & tension

Real-world example of bending forces

Bridge construction

What reinforced concrete combines

Concrete (compression) & steel (tension)

What concrete handles in reinforced concrete

Compressive loads

What steel handles in reinforced concrete

Tensile loads

When material failure occurs in bending

When forces exceed material capabilities

What bending creates in material structure

Internal stress patterns
