Yes. Inflection point is used to specify the location where the curvature along a structural member under bending changes. However I prefer the word "contraflexure".
Point of inflection is that point where any curve changes it's sign. But point of contraflexure is that point where bending moment changes it's sign.
No, they are differed which inflexion is langustic term while contraflexure is mathematical physical term
Dear Muhammad Faheem Jan .. thanks for joining our discussion..
A point of inflection is defined as the point where a function changes from convex to concave or vice versa. The point of contraflexure is easily identifiable on a diagram (it's where the bending moment diagram equals zero).
