Definition of flexure in English: flexurenoun ˈflɛkʃəˈflɛkʃər mass nounAnatomy Geology technical 1The action of bending or curving, or the condition of being bent or curved. Example sentencesExamples - The basin is separated from the craton by a major tectonic flexure known as the Redstone arch.
- To add to the problem, Barbara had a lengthy, tortuous colon, and - despite turning, twisting, and compressing her - barium and air would not pass proximal to the hepatic flexure.
- Along with characterizing a plastic's bending properties, flexure can be used to evaluate aging and sterilization effects on a product.
- Approximately one third of polyps and one half of colorectal cancers occur proximal to the splenic flexure.
- Tumors or polyps that develop proximal to the splenic flexure carry a poorer prognosis than those that arise more distally.
- 1.1count noun A bent or curved part.
these lesser hills were flexures of the San Andreas system Example sentencesExamples - The only irregularities are small east-dipping flexures over deep-seated faults.
- Some are twisted like phone cords; others have sharp flexures from buckling.
- In crawling infants the forearms, extensor aspects of the knees, and the ankle flexures are often the most affected.
Synonyms bend, turn, loop, curl, twist, hook
Derivatives adjective Anatomy Geology technical The eigenvalues of the first bending and twisting modes of a structure are directly related to the flexural and torsional stiffness, respectively. Example sentencesExamples - Some failure in tension has occurred in the elements above the anomalous region where the flexural bending is concave downwards.
- Rather than mix its own concrete, the contractor bought ready-mixed concrete designed to achieve 2500-psi compressive strength and 800-psi flexural strength in 24 hours.
- Polymer modification is said to give the product tensile, flexural, and compressive strength that is well above normal concrete (up to 50% stronger, depending on thickness).
- The brick veneer wall is reported to have very low bond values and there is not a reliable source of flexural resistance, to resist lateral wind pressure.
