So the final equation of bending $(\frac$ times larger than engineering strain at the elastic limit, or about $1.003$ times, or about $0.3\%$ larger. is used in analysis of bending beams, twisting shafts and in buckling.

We use engineering stress and engineering strain in this eq. Surprisingly this hasn't been asked before, so I must be missing something simple.
