Strength of materials problems of circular axis beams

Strength of materials problems of circular axis beams

Topic description:

The stress calculation of the circular beams differs from that of straight-axis beams due to the fact that the initial curvature of the beam affects both the value of the stress and its distribution. Even with an elastic material, the stress distribution is nonlinear, and the result is that constant elongation causes not only normal force, but also bending moment.

The aim of the research is to:

(a) Understanding and further thinking about the elasticity of plane circular curved bars for a plastic material model. Determination of the process of formation of the plastic hinges and calculation of the plastic resistance of the beams with a circular axis.

(b) Elaboration and application of the circular finite element type for the examination of plane arcs.

For whom it is recommended:

I recommend it to anyone interested in load-bearing structures and their numerical examination, and who likes programming or wants to learn it.
