For a spatial robot, there are two possible cases. A section may have two DOF [degrees of freedom](most common) where the two degrees are derived from the bending motion of the robot. The set will contain two variables for each section, one to describe the bend and the other to describe the orientation of the bend in space. If we use curvature to describe the bending of the section, then we only need to use an angle about the initial tangent of a section to describe the orientation. 1, record 1, English, - spatial%20robot

Resisting bending moment(RBM) [is] a calculation used to compare frames of different section modulus and of different material.

The standard measurement for frame strength is a term known as "RBM"(Resistance to Bending Movement). The RBM is the yield strength of the frame material multiplied by the section modules of the frame rail. A typical yield strength of steel used in commercial truck chassis is 50, 000 psi, and the section modules per frame is 13. 3 to 13. 4 inches cubed. Therefore, the RBM per rail is approximately 670, 000 inch-pounds, with the RBM of the entire chassis frame(both rails) being double that, or 1, 340, 000 pounds. 4, record 6, English, - resistance%20to%20bending%20moment
