3 Bending Stress Equation Based on Known Radius of Curvature of Bend, .The beam is assumed to be initially straight. The applied moment, M, causes the beam to assume a radius ofcurvature, .Before:After:MM = EyE = modulus of elasticity of the beam materialy = Perpendicular distance from the centroidal axis to thepoint of interest (same y as with bending of astraight beam with Mx). = radius of curvature to centroid of cross section3 Basic Stress EquationsDr. D.

4 D. B. WallaceBending Moment in Curved Beam (Inside/Outside Stresses):Stresses for the inside and outside fibers of a curved beam in pure bending can beapproximated from the straight beam equation as modified by an appropriatecurvature factor as determined from the graph below [i refers to the inside, and orefers to the outside]. The curvature factor magnitude depends on the amount ofcurvature (determined by the ratio r/c) and the cross section shape. r is the radiusof curvature of the beam centroidal axis, and c is the distance from the centroidalaxis to the inside Fiber: iiKMcI= Outside Fiber: ooKMcI= of curvature, r/cKrbcbcbccb/2b/3b/4b/8b/6 BABABABABABABAV alues of K for inside fiber as at iAValues of K for outside fiber as at oBU or TRound or EllipticalTrapezoidalI or hollow rectangularRound, Elliptical or TrapezoidalU or TI or hollow rectangular5
