In a beam or length of material, we generally consider the longitudinal axis as the major axis for bending. But torsion will bend the material from the vertical, will twist it around that longitudinal axis. And lateral forces will bend the material across it axis of latitude.

What is the minor axis for bending?
The depth of section is major axis of that section. Prependicular to that depth is minor axis of that section. I think it helps you to understand. Regards, Vinay
What is the area of an ellipse with the major axis 20 m and the minor axis 10 m?
The area of an ellipse with a major axis 20 m and a minor axis 10 m is: 157.1 m2
How many axis are there and what are they called?
horizontal = x axis vertical = y axis 3d axis = z axis in an elipses, there is also a major and minor axis and finally, 3 Axis Powers: Germany, Japan, and Italy
How can you draw an ellipse by arc of circle method when major axis 120mm and minor axis 80mm?
Circular segment
What is the equation for the ellipse if the ellipse is centered at the origin and the length of its horizontal axis is 4 and lengeth of the vertical axis is 8?
Ellipse formula, centered at the origin, where the vertical axis is the major axis: x2/b2 + y2/a2 = 1, a > b Since the major axis is 8, then a = 4. Since the minor axis is 4, then b = 2. Thus, the equation of the ellipse is: x2/4 + y2/16 = 1.
