    Curved Beams

    A curved beam is defined as a beam whose neutral axis is curved rather than straight when unloaded. The analysis of curved beams assumes plane sections remain plane after bending, equal moduli of elasticity in tension and compression, and homogeneous, linearly elastic material. The key differences between straight and curved beams are that the neutral axis is shifted towards the center of curvature in a curved beam, and the stress distribution is hyperbolic rather than linear.

    CURVED BEAMS

     A curved beam is defined as a beam in which the

    neutral axis in unloaded condition is curved instead of


    straight.

     Assumptions are made in the stress analysis of curved beam:


    1. Plane sections perpendicular to the axis of
    beam remain plane after bending.
    2. The moduli of elasticity in tension and
    compression are equal.
    3. The material is homogeneous and obeys
    Hooke’s law.
    Ro = radius of outer fibre (mm)
    Ri = radius of inner fibre (mm)
    R = radius of centroidal axis (mm)
    RN= radius of neutral axis (mm)
    hi = distance of inner fibre from neutral axis (mm)
    ho = distance of outer fibre from neutral axis (mm)
    Straight beam Vs Curved Beam
    STRAIGHT BEAM CURVED BEAM

    1. Neutal and centroidal 1. Neutral axis is shifted


    axis are coincident. towards the centre of
    curvature
    2. Stress distribution is
    linear. 2. Stress distribution is
    hyperbolic
