Preferred term

Curved beam  

Definition

  • 1. 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. (https://de.scribd.com/presentation/644281054/CURVED-BEAMS-ppt). 2. A curved beam is defined as beam in which the neutral axis in unloaded condition is curved instead of straight.
