Bending Stress in Curved Beams: Steady Stresses and Variable Stresses in Machine Members

The document discusses bending stresses in curved beams. It states that in curved beams, the neutral axis is shifted towards the center of curvature, resulting in a non-linear stress distribution. A general expression is given for calculating the bending stress at any fiber of a curved beam based on its distance from the neutral axis. Examples are given of calculating stresses at inner and outer fibers of curved beam cross-sections for specific load cases and beam geometries. Curved beams are used in applications like crane hooks and machine frames.

Bending Stress in Curved Beams


We have seen in the previous article that for the 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, as shown in Fig. It may be noted that 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
principle is used in crane hooks, chain links and frames of punches,
presses, planers etc.

Consider a curved beam subjected to a bending moment M, as


shown in Fig. 5.8. In finding the
bending stress in curved beams, the same assumptions are used as
for straight beams. The general
expression for the bending stress (b) in a curved beam at any fibre
at a distance y from the neutral axis, is given by
