Tensile Modulus (E) is the slope of stress strain curve of a specific material sample under direct tensile loading. While flexural modulus/ bending modulus is obtained from slope of moment-curvature diagram dividing it by moment of intertia of the beam specimen; (E = EI / I).

Are flexural and tensile strength the same?

The flexural strength would be the same as the tensile strength if the material were homogeneous. ... Therefore, it is common for flexural strengths to be higher than tensile strengths for the same material.

What is flexural modulus?

The flexural modulus of a material is a physical property denoting the ability for that material to bend. In mechanical terms, it is the ratio of stress to strain during a flexural deformation, or bending.
