When a beam is loaded and bent as shown, the inside of the bend is subjected to the maximum '''[[Compression|Compressive Stress]]''' and the outside the bend experiences the maximum '''[[Tensile Stress]]'''.

The distance of the '''[[Neutral Axis]]''' from the maximum stress ''('''y''')'' is half the depth for a uniform rectangular beam. This value is required when using the '''[[Simple Bending Equation]]''' to check if a beam can support a given load.

Since most materials fail under '''tension''' before they fail by '''compression''', the '''Bending Strength''' ''(aka [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_strength '''Flexural Strength'''])'' can usually be taken to be the same as the '''[[Tensile Strength]]'''.
