FIGURE E6.7-3<br />

Curved beam with end moments.<br />

point. Thus, <strong>for</strong> a plate without a hole only uni<strong>for</strong>m tension or compression<br />

can exist as a symmetrical case.<br />

A geometry that does qualify as a case with a hole (absence of material)<br />

at the origin is that of a curved beam subjected to end moments as discussed<br />

in the following example.<br />

Example 6.7-3<br />

Determine the stresses in a curved beam of the dimensions shown when<br />

subjected to constant equilibrating moments.<br />

Solution<br />

From symmetry, the stresses are as given by Eq 6.7-12. Boundary conditions<br />

require<br />

(1) σ r = 0 at r = a, and at r = b<br />

b<br />

(2) σ on the end faces<br />

θ dr = 0 ∫ a<br />

∫<br />

(3) r dr =−Mon<br />

end faces<br />

a<br />

b<br />

σ θ<br />

(4) τ rθ = 0 everywhere on boundary
