CURVATURE OF A BEAM

When loads are applied to a beam, its longitudinal axis is


deformed into a curve, The resulting strains and stresses in
the beam are directly related to the curvature of the
deflection curve.
To illustrate the concept of curvature, consider again a cantilever beam
subjected to a load P acting at the free end. For purposes of analysis, we
identify two points m1 and m2 on the deflection curve. Point m1 is selected at
an arbitrary distance x from the y axis and point m2 is located a small
distance ds further along the curve. At each of these points we draw a line
normal to the tangent to the deflection curve, that is, normal to the curve
itself.
These normals intersect at point O, which is the center of curvature of the
deflection curve. Because most beams have very small deflections and
nearly flat deflection curves, point O is usually located much farther from
the beam than is indicated in the figure

The distance m1O from the curve to the center of curvature
is called the radius of curvature r (Greek letter rho), and the
curvature k (Greek letter kappa) is defined as the reciprocal of the
radius of curvature. Thus,

Curvature is a measure of how sharply a beam is bent. If


the load on a beam is small, the beam will be nearly straight,
the radius of curvature will be very large, and the curvature will
be very small. If the load is increased, the amount of bending
will increase—the radius of curvature will become smaller, and
the curvature will become larger.
From the geometry of triangle Om1m2 we obtain
in which du ( measured in radians) is the
infinitesimal angle between the normals and ds is
the infinitesimal distance along the curve
between points m1 and m2.
