    MECH 321 - Solid Mechanics II Week 4, Lecture 3 - Curved Beams. Curved Beams have a cross-sectional area that is constant and has an axis of symmetry that is perpendicular to the direction of the applied moment. The normal strain does not vary linearly with depth as in a straight beam 2. The neutral axis does not pass through the centroid of the cross section.

    Curved Beams
    Assumptions: a) Cross-sectional area is constant and has an axis of symmetry that is perpendicular to the direction of the applied moment. b) Material is homogeneous and isotropic, and it behaves in a linear-elastic manner c) Cross sectional plane remains plane d) In-plane distortion of cross section is negligible Note: 1. The normal strain does not varies linearly with depth as in a straight beam 2. The neutral axis does not pass through the centroid of the cross section
