Explain the difference between the points of inflexion and contraflexure?
Answer / Vivek Mishra
Points of inflection in a curve are points where the curvature changes sign without the curve crossing itself. These points indicate local maxima or minima but are not extreme values themselves. Contraflexure, on the other hand, refers to the point in a curved beam where it changes from concave to convex or vice versa. This is significant in structural analysis as it can affect the stress distribution and stability of the structure.
