Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the state of stress and displacement field of a curved beam with non-uniform cross section. The material of the beam is non-homogeneous isotropic linearly elastic. The curved beam is subjected to couple moment at the ends of geometry. Utilizing analytical closed form solutions are obtained for the radial and circumferential stresses and for the displacements and cross sectional rotation. A numerical example illustrates the applications of the derived formulae.
