German term or phrase: Biegefestigkeit

As it relates to cell membranes. I have a feeling it might be “bending modulus” or “flexural modulus” but I am not completely certain.

When cells are cultured on top of the membrane, the resulted flexural rigidity of the composite membrane is increased and further affects the membrane deformation as shown in Fig. 1(a). Therefore, difference of the flexural rigidity between the membrane with and without cells cultured on it can be estimated by characterizing the electrical resistance of the variable resistor.
