Abstract

In the present work we have tried to optimize the cross sectional area of curved beam, by properly selecting the parameters with the help of computer. Flexural formula is reasonably held good for this calculation [1] . This study forces on both bending stresses either tensile or compressive along with displacement censorial axis with respect to neutral axis called eccentricity . Software’s developed in the present work have been run successfully; trapezoidal section is the most suitable for curved beam among circular, rectangular, triangular tra pezoidal T and I - sections . Trapezoidal section takes maximum total stresses with minimum shift in eccentricity.
