A curved beam with eccentricity 0.02D is loaded with 1kN.Centroidal radius=4D and inner and outer radii are 3.5D and 4.5D respectively. Area of cross section is 0.8D². Find the dimension D if allowable stress is 110N/mm².Considering only bending stress.
(a) 14.80mm
(b) 13.95mm
(c) 16.5mm
(d) 17.2mm
Someone asked me this question during a technical interview.
I am reviewing the Fracture Mechanics, Curved beams & Thermal Stresses concept in lesson Design Against Static Load of Machine Design
