46. In combined bending, what is the major consideration when determining the stress distribution within the material?

1. Material density
2. Moment of inertia
3. Elastic modulus
4. Section modulus

Answer

The correct answer is: D) Section modulus

Explanation

Section modulus relates the bending stress to the geometry of the cross-section and is a critical parameter in understanding the stress distribution within a material under combined bending.
