Assumptions
Assumptions
Curved bars are analysed with assumptions similar to these
for straight bars
all cross-sections have the axis of symmetry
all these axes lies in one plane
the axis of the bar lies in the same plane – it is a plane
curve
external forces are acting
in the same plane
deformation of the bar occurs
in the same plane
Contents
let’s cut the bar at A-A and remove left hand part
all the forces acting on the removed part will be
balanced out with the internal forces on the
cross-section
in curved bars there are three internal forces
P n n n
normal force – N = (F P1 , Ft2 , Ft3 ) t
transverse force – V = P(F1 , F2 , F3 )
bending moment – M = M0 (F1 , F2 , F3 )

where:
A – area of the cross-section
S – first moment with respect to the neutral line
y – distance between the fibre and the neutral axis
ρ – radius of curvature of the fibre distanced about y
from the neutral axis
it should be remembered that both component may be
positive or negative; it should be determined by
inspection
M y1
σ1b = = −42, 63 MPa
S R1
M y2
σ2b = = 95, 23 MPa
S R2
σ1b are negative since the coordinate y0 is negative; it is also
obvious from the scheme of task
stresses from the normal force
