    Design of Curved Beams

    Bending stress in a curved beam.

     Straight beams, the neutral axis of the section coincides


    with its centroidal axis and the stress distribution in the
    beam is linear.

     But in case of curved beams, the neutral axis of the cross-


    section is shifted towards the centre of curvature of the
    beam causing a non-linear (hyperbolic) distribution of
    stress.

     The neutral axis lies between the centroidal axis and the
    centre of curvature and always occurs within the curved
    beams.

    The application of curved beam


    crane hooks, chain links and
    frames of punches, presses, planers
    etc.
    Assumptions

    The distribution of stress in a curved flexural member is determined


    by using the following assumptions.
    1 The cross section has an axis of symmetry in a plane along the
    length of the beam.
    2 Plane cross sections remain plane after bending.
    3 The modulus of elasticity is the same in tension as in
    compression.

    It will be found that the neutral axis and the centroidal axis of a
    curved beam, unlike a straight beam,are not coincident and also that
    the stress does not vary linearly from the neutral axis. The notation
    shown in the above figures is defined as follows:

    Where ………..
    M = Bending moment acting at the
    given section about the
    centroidal axis,

    A = Area of cross-section,
    It is positive for the
    distances towards the centree = Distance from the centroidal
    of curvature and negative foraxis to the neutral axis = R – Rn,
    the distances away from theR = Radius of curvature of the
    centre of curvature. centroidal axis,
    Rn = Radius of curvature of the
    neutral axis, and

    y = Distance from the neutral axis


    to the fibre under consideration.
    Bending stress in a curved beam.

    1. The bending stress in the curved beam is zero at a


    point other than at the centroidal axis.

    2. If the section is symmetrical such as a circle,


    rectangle, I-beam with equal flanges, then the
    maximum bending stress will always occur at the
    inside fibre.

    If the section is unsymmetrical, then the maximum bending


    stress may occur at either the inside fibre or the outside fibre.
    The maximum bending stress at the inside fibre is given by

    where
    yi = Distance from the neutral axis to the inside fibre
    = Rn – Ri , and
    Ri = Radius of curvature of the inside fibre.

    The maximum bending stress at the outside fibre is given


    by

    where
    yo = Distance from the neutral axis to the outside fibre
    = Ro – Rn,
    Ro = Radius of curvature of the outside fibre.
    It may be noted that the bending stress at the inside fibre is tensile
    while the bending stress at the outside fibre is compressive.
