Resisting bending moment (RBM) [is] a calculation used to compare frames of different section modulus and of different material. It is the product of the section modulus times the yield strength of the frame material. The formula is expressed as: RBM = Section Modulus x Yield Strength. 5, record 1, English, - resisting%20bending%20moment

The mainframe of a heavy or medium-duty truck or tractor consists of a pair of C-section rails running the vehicle's length... joined by C-, T-, L-or hat-section crossmembers.... "Resisting bending moment, "or RBM [is] measured in inch-pounds. RBM describes the frame's ability to withstand twisting forces as well as its carrying ability... A road tractor's frame might be built with an RBM of 1. 3 million to 1. 6 million inch-pounds, while a quad-rear-axle dump truck's frame might have an RBM of 3 million inch-pounds. Yes, those are torque values, because torque is what's applied to the frame as the vehicle rocks and rolls its way over a jobsite or roadway, and its load pulls and pushes on the frame. 6, record 1, English, - resisting%20bending%20moment
