Abstract: Formulas of fixed-end moments and thrusts for a curved member of constant section subjected to a uniformly distributed in-plane load are presented. Expressions are derived for noncircular curved beams of cycloidal, catenary ...

Abstract: The stiffness coefficient matrix for a curved member of constant cross section considering the effect of flexural deformation is presented. This matrix relates the member-end rotations, vertical deflections, and horizontal ...
