Flexural rigidity

Flexural rigidity is defined as the force couple required to bend a rigid structure to a unit curvature.

In a beam or rod, flexural regidity varies along the length as a function of x shown in the following equation:

$\ EI {dy \over dx}\ = \int_{0}^{x} M(x) dx + C_1$

where E is the modulus of elasticity, I is the moment of inertia, and M(x) is the bending moment at x.
