Radial Bending Moment

	Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me. I am currently calculating the maximum bending stress of a gland; for the moment, however, I am just looking at the object as a circular disc (with a hollowed out center). I have my gland stress as being equal to: s Gland = ( 6 x M ) /t² Where: t = GLAND THICKNESS M = UNIT RADIAL BENDING MOMENT (Nmm per mm of circumference). I don't really understand what it means by the unit radial bending moment. I am comparing my results with an FEA simulation but I do not know how to load my model in relation toward this "M" value. Could anyone shed some light on this please?

	Consider M to be the amount of torque (force-at distance) applied (newton-meter per mm displacement of the circumference. It is analogous to a spring constant. __________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just build a better one.
