Assumption
The material of the beam is perfectly homogeneous and isotropic.
The cross section has an axis of symmetry in a plane along the
length of the beam.
The material of the beam obeys Hookes law.
The transverse sections which are plane before bending remain
plane after bending also.
Each layer of the beam is free to expand or contract, independent of
the layer above or below it.
Youngs modulus is same in tension & compression.
G1H1 = (R+Y)
GH = R
Also Stress
OR
dF = 0
Since yaa is first moment of area about neutral axis, ya/a is the
distance of centroid from neutral axis. Thus neutral axis coincides with
centroid of the cross section. Cross sec

tional area coincides with neutral
axis.

In the above figure the lines 'ab' and 'cd' represent two such planes
before bending. i.e., when there are no stresses induced. When a bending
moment 'Mb' is applied to the beam the plane cd rotates with respect to
'ab' through an angle 'd' to the position 'fg' and the outer fibers are
shortened while the inner fibers are elongated. The original length of a
strip at a distance 'y' from the neutral axis is (y + rn). It is shortened by
the amount yd and the stress in this fiber is,
= E.e
i.e., =E ..... (i)
Let
Mb = Applied Bending Moment
ri = Inner radius of curved beam
ro = Outer radius of curved beam
i.e. dF 0

As is not equal to zero,

The neutral axis radius 'rn' can be determined from the above equation.
Mb = ydF

Consider the elements of the curved beam lying between two axial
planes ab and cd separated by angle . Let fg is the final position of
the plane cd having rotated through an angle d about neutral axis.
Consider two fibers symmetrically located on either side of the neutral
yd.
axis. Deformation in both the fibers is same and equal to yd
Since length of inner element is smaller than outer element, the strain
induced and stress developed are higher for inner element than outer
element as shown.
Thus stress concentration occur at inner side or concave side of curved
beam
It is observed that the neutral axis shifts inwards for the curved beam.
This results in stress to be zero at this position, rather than at the centre
of gravity.
In cases where holes and discontinuities are provided in the beam, they
should be preferably placed at the neutral axis, rather than that at the
centroidal axis. This results in a better stress distribution.
Example:
For numerical analysis, consider the depth of the section ass twice
the inner radius.
e = rc - rn = h 0.910h = 0.0898h
co = ro - rn= h 0.910h = 0590h
ci = rn - ri = 0.910h - = 0.410h
Comparing the stresses at the inner most fiber based on (1) and (3), we
observe that the stress at the inner most fiber in this case is:
bci = 1.522BSi
Thus the stress at the inner most fiber for this case is 1.522 times greater
than that for a straight beam.
From the stress distribution it is observed that the maximum stress in a
curved beam is higher than the straight beam.
Comparing the stresses at the outer most fiber based on (2) and (4), we
observe that the stress at the outer most fiber in this case is:
bco = 1.522BSi
Thus the stress at the inner most fiber for this case is 0.730 times that for
a straight beam.
The curvatures thus introduce a non linear stress distribution.
This is due to the change in force flow lines, resulting in stress
concentration on the inner side.
To achieve a better stress distribution, section where the centroidal axis
is the shifted towards the insides must be chosen, this tends to equalize
the stress variation on the inside and outside fibers for a curved beam.
Such sections are trapeziums, non symmetrical I section, and T sections.
It should be noted that these sections should always be placed in a
manner such that the centroidal axis is inwards.
