How long is a curved beam?
How long is a curved beam?
For a straight or thin curved beam, the expression for strain energy due to bending is U = M2 L/(2EI); for this to be applicable to a thick curved beam, the requisite length is slightly greater than the centre-line length.

Abstract

For a straight or thin curved beam, the expression for strain energy due to bending is U = M2 L/(2EI); for this to be applicable to a thick curved beam, the requisite length is slightly greater than the centre-line length.
