The above equation is the governing differential equation of second order
for the deflected curve & is known as moment - curvature relationship.
Note :

1) From the above relations, it is clear that the curvature is the rate

of change of change of slope.
2) The curvature is directly proportional to the corresponding moment &
is indirectly proportional to the flexural rigidity.
