1. bending

   Bending is the act or process of flexing or curving a solid material, typically accomplished by applying external forces or pressure. It involves the deformation of the material, leading to changes in its original shape or orientation. Bending can be seen in various contexts, such as when shaping metal, plastic, or wood, or when flexing one's body or body parts.

1. Bending

   In engineering mechanics, bending characterizes the behavior of a slender structural element subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the element. The structural element is assumed to be such that at least one of its dimensions is a small fraction, typically 1/10 or less, of the other two. When the length is considerably longer than the width and the thickness, the element is called a beam. For example, a closet rod sagging under the weight of clothes on clothes hangers is an example of a beam experiencing bending. On the other hand, a shell is a structure of any geometric form where the length and the width are of the same order of magnitude but the thickness of the structure is considerably smaller. A large diameter, but thin-walled, short tube supported at its ends and loaded laterally is an example of a shell experiencing bending. In the absence of a qualifier, the term bending is ambiguous because bending can occur locally in all objects. To make the usage of the term more precise, engineers refer to the bending of rods, the bending of beams, the bending of plates, the bending of shells and so on.

Examples of bending in a Sentence

1. Guy Houlsby:

   The original Darrieus turbine has blades that are parallel to the axis of rotation, and that means that the loads in the blades are carried entirely by bending of the blades. That results in very high stresses, the re-design that we've done changes the blades so that they form this triangulated structure, and that's a very stiff and very strong structural form. And that means that the loads in the blades are principally carried by axial forces and that means that the stresses are much lower.

2. Elijah Cummings:

   House Judiciary Committee is bending over backwards to act in good faith, but White House has refused to produce a single piece of paper or a single witness to date, white House also withheld from House Judiciary Committee the policies that were in place during the first year and a half of the Trump Administration-which even General John Kelly admitted was plagued with problems.

3. Ronald Coen:

   I could not tell if the object was a gun, but it would appear if I had a gun in my pocket I certainly wouldn't be bending over in view of deputy sheriffs.

4. Mariana Fulger:

   Every existence is a bending in the space-time of general existence and can sometimes become so dense that it does not resonate with anything from outside.

5. Mike Garcia:

   The average American doesn't necessarily care about the Republican Party or the Democrat Party. They care about their own security, they want to know that when they dial 9-1-1, the cops are going to show up and help them. When these progressive, woke politicians start bending the knee to organizations that are fighting for the rights of criminals, that's when we get into this trouble.
