Flexural rigidity n flexural modulus

what is the difference between flexural rigidity n flexural modulus ?


Flexural modulus is a material property, while rigidity refers to the bending response of a beam of specific dimensions. For example, steel has a high flexural modulus, but flexural rigidiy would depend on whether you had a wire or a plate. The two properties are related by beam equations
