Difference between a straight beam and a curved beam<br />

Sl.no straight beam curved beam<br />

1 In Straight beams the neutral<br />

axis of the section coincides<br />

with its centroidal axis and the<br />

stress distribution in the beam<br />

is linear.<br />

In case of curved beams the<br />

neutral axis of the section is<br />

shifted towards the center of<br />

curvature of the beam causing<br />

a non-linear stress<br />

distribution.
