| Neutral Plane - Plane in the beam where
all bending stresses are zero. It is the reference point for the
integral defining the Area Moment of Inertia, I.
Line Pressure Load - Out of
convenience, beam theory defines the units for a pressure load as
[N/m], as opposed to real pressure units [N/m2]. To
convert a real pressure to this line pressure
for beams, multiply the true pressure by the beam width,
