Bending of Curved Bars
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
There are many engineering components which are not straight but curved and possessing large initial curvatures. Flexure formula of theory of simple bending cannot be used to determine stresses in such components. A theory has been developed for the determination of stresses and deflections in such components. In this chapter, students will learn about stresses and deflections in components as:
Curved bars of different sections as rectangular, circular, trapezoidal and triangular.
Chain links.
Rings.
Crane hooks.
Frames of power presses, C-clamps.
Components with hollow section.
Since the derivations are lengthy and cumber some, students are advised to derive the relationships by themselves ...
