    Lesson 32 Design of Curved Beams

    Curved beams have a curved neutral axis rather than a straight one. The bending stress in a curved beam varies hyperbolically with distance from the neutral axis rather than linearly as in a straight beam. To analyze stress in a curved beam, assumptions are made about the radius of the outer fiber, inner fiber, centroidal axis, and neutral axis. The eccentricity between the centroidal and neutral axis can be calculated, and the bending stress in any fiber is given by a hyperbolic equation related to this eccentricity and distance from the neutral axis. Maximum stress occurs at the inner or outer fiber and must be checked for both symmetrical and unsymmetrical cross sections. References for further information are provided.

    The key takeaways are that the neutral axis and centroidal axis do not coincide in a curved beam, bending stress has a hyperbolic distribution, and expressions are given to calculate R and RN for standard cross-sections.

    The neutral axis of a curved beam is shifted towards the centre of curvature, while the centroidal axis remains in the geometric centre. This causes an eccentricity between the two axes.

    Bending stress in any fibre of a curved beam at a distance 'y' from the neutral axis is given by the equation σ = M*e/I*y, where stress has a hyperbolic distribution with respect to y.

    LESSON 32 DESIGN OF CURVED BEAMS

    32.1 Introduction
    Beam having its neutral axis curved in unloaded condition is
    known as curved beam. Neutral axis and centroidal axis of a
    curved beam do not coincide. Neutral axis of curved beams is
    shifted towards the centre of curvature. Also the bending stress
    in case of curved beam, varies hyperbolically with the distance
    from the neutral axis and variation is not linear as in case of
    straight beams. Figure 32.1 shows distribution of stress in
    curved beam.

    Figure 32.1 Distribution of Stress in a Curved Beam


    In stress analysis of curved beam, following assumptions are
    made:
    Let Ro = radius of outer fibre (mm)
    R1 = 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)
    M = bending moment with respect to centroidal axis (N-mm)
    A = area of the cross-section (mm2)
    Eccentricity between centroidal and neutral axis is given by,
    Bending stress in any fibre, at distance ‘y’ from the neutral axis,
    is given by,

    Equation indicates that stress has hyperbolic distribution with


    respect to y. Maximum stress occurs either at the inner fibre or
    at the outer fibre.

    In symmetrical cross-sections (circular, rectangular etc.),


    maximum bending stress always occurs at the inner fibre. But
    for unsymmetrical sections, stress must be calculated for inner
    and outer fibre to find its maximum value. Value of e is
    generally very small but its precise calculation is very important
    to avoid error in stress determination. Expressions for
    calculation of R and RN, for some standard cross-sections are
    given in table 32.1.
