ALVARE-DIOS AND JUAN M. VIA ~NO Abstract. We present a bending model for a shallow arch, namely the type of curved rod where the curvature is of the order of the diameter of the cross section. The model is deduced in a rigorous mathematical way from classical tridimensional linear elasticity theory via asymptotic techniques, by taking the limit on a suitable re-scaled formulation of that problem as the diameter of the cross section tends to zero. This model is valid for general cases of applied forces and material, and it allows us to calculate displacements, axial stresses, bending moments and shear forces. The equations present a more general form than in the classical Bernoulli-Navier bending theory for straight slender rods, so that exures and extensions are proved to be coupled in the most general case. Key words: elasticity, shallow arches, asymptotic methods, curved rods Mathematics subject classication: 73K5, 73C2, 35C2, 35Q72 1. Introduction Strictly speaking, we call a rod any three-dimensional solid occupying the volume generated by a planar connected domain when its mass center is dragged orthogonally along a space curve (the axis or centerline of the rod). The plane domain is called the cross section of the rod. Its essential characteristic is the fact that the diameter of the cross section should be much smaller than the length of the centerline (a ratio of 1 : 1 or less is admitted). We shall say the rod is straight whenever its axis is a straight line segment a straight rod with constant cross section is usually called a prismatic rod: otherwise we shall just talk about curved rods. In this work we are concerned with a particular class of curved rods. More to the point, we call weakly curved rods or shallow arches those characterized by the fact that the curvature of their centerline should have the same order of magnitude than the diameter of the cross section, both being much smaller than their length. A more precise denition will be given later on in the work. The results contained in this work were already announced in [4, 5]. More precisely, here we undertake the aim of obtaining an asymptotic approximation to the tridimensional linear elasticity model,for weakly curved rods. This work is then a continuation and extension of previous results by [2,3] on the asymptotic approximation of slender straight linear elastic rods. Below we summarize up the utilized technique: (a) By means of a change of variable and a change of scale of displacements and stresses, the linearized three-dimensional elasticity problem posed in the curved beam is converted into an equivalent re-scaled problem posed in a straight reference beam (see[2, 3]). (b) Then we aim to study the limit behaviour of unknowns (displacements and stress) of the re-scaled problem, as the diameter of the cross section goes Article published by EDP Sciences and available at or

It is at this stage that the weak curvature assumption plays a crucial role. (c) By undoing the change of variable in the limit model, we obtain the corresponding model for the actual curved rod. This procedure has already been used in earlier works, most notably in [6, 7], where this method leads to the mathematical justication of the twodimensional equations of a linear elastic shallow shell. 2. Posing the three-dimensional problem Greek indices will take values in the set f1 2g, whereas Latin indices will take values in f1 2 3g. The summation convention on repeated indices will also be used. Let be an open connected bounded set on plane Ox 1 x 2,having area equal to A and a Lipschitzian boundary. We shall suppose that Ox 1 x 2 is a principal system of inertia for. For all " such that <" 1andforany given L>(" L) we dene: " = " " " " = " ( L) (1) ; " = " fg ; " L = " flg ; " = " ( L) (2) and wenote@ " " and for any function depending only on x 3 we shall note by,,, ::: the corresponding derivatives of. We shall leave out superscript " when " =1: = 1 ;=; 1 ; =; 1 ::: A generic point in " will be noted by x " =(x " 1 x" 2 x 3). For every " we dene a curve C " in the space Ox " 1 x" 2 x 3 of the form C " = f " (x 3 )=( " 1(x 3 ) " 2(x 3 ) x 3 ) 2 IR 3 : x 3 2 [ L]g (3) where " (x 3) are given functions verifying " 2 C3 [ L]. Let (t " n " b " ) be the Frenet trihedron associated to the curve C " ([1]). From now onwe suppose that n " belongs to C 1 [ L], so that the curve C " is smooth. This hypothesis is satised if " 1 and " 2 do not vanish at the same time (which is equivalent to the fact that the curvature of C " be strictly positive forany x 3 2 [ L]). The case where C " has null curvature points (e. g. a straight chunk) can be treated in the same fashion, provided that we suppose that along these points we have the same degree of smoothness as before, with t " n " b " appropriately chosen. We dene the map ' " : " ; ' " ( " )= ^ " IR 3 in the following manner: ' " (x " )=( " 1(x 3 ) " 2(x 3 ) x 3 )+x " 1n " (x 3 )+x " 2b " (x 3 ) (4) and we assume that ' " is a C 1 -dieomorphism (which can be proved if " is small enough for functions " herein considered). The body having f^ " g ; as its reference conguration is called a curved rod of axis C ". Let us bear in mind that the area of the cross section is of the order " 2. A generic point of f^ " g ; will be denoted by ^x " =(^x " i )='" (x " ), and we set ^@ " i ". i Rod ^ " is considered to be made of an elastic material having Young's modulus E " and Poisson's ratio ". The rod is acted on by volume forces ^f " 2 [L 2 (^ " )] 3 and surface ones ^g " 2 [L 2 (^; " )] 3. Both ends ^; " = '" (; " ), ^; " = L '" (; " ) are supposed to be clamped. Other limit conditions could have L been tackled with a similar approach. Denoting by ^u " =(^u "):f^ " i g ; ;

Equivalent formulation to the three-dimensional problem on the reference open set In order to study the behaviour of (^ " ^u " ) when the area of the cross section becomes small, we follow the same trail as in the asymptotic analysis of straight rods ([2, 3]) and the analogous work on shallow shells ([6, 7]): changing the variable to a xed open set, scaling of unknowns, assuming certain hypotheses on forces and passing to the limit. For all x =(x i ) 2 we setx " = " (x) =("x 1 "x 2 x 3 ) 2 " et ^x " = ' " (x " )=' " ( " x) and we dene the scaled displacement and stresses u(") =(u i (")) : ; IR 3 et (") =( ij (")) : ; IR 9 s by the following equations: u (")(x)="^u " (^x " ) u 3 (")(x)=^u " 3(^x " ) (")(x) =" ;2^ " (^x" ) 3 (")(x) =" ;1^ " 3 (^x" ) 33 (")(x) =^ 33(^x " " (1) ): We now suppose that there exist constants E, not depending on ", functions f i 2 L 2 (), g i 2 L 2 (;) and 2 C 3 [ L] independent of ", and an arbitrary real number t, such that: E " = " t E " = " t (2) ^f (^x " " )=" t+1 f (x) ^f 3(^x " " )=" t f 3 (x) for all ^x " = ' " ( " x) x2 (3) ^g " (^x " )=" t+2 g (x) ^g " 3(^x " )=" t+1 g 3 (x) for all ^x " = ' " ( " x) x2 ; (4) " (x 3 )=" (x 3 ) for all x 3 2 [ L]: (5) Hypothesis (5) implies that the curvature of C " is of the order ", which can be considered to be a denition of a weakly curved rod.

Therefore we can extract weakly convergent subsequences, and we show that these limits satisfy equations (5){(7) passing to the limit in variational equations (6). Then we establish the strong convergence. We follow a similar pattern to the straight rod case ( = ) [2, 3, 5] but several diculties crop up, most remarkably to take remainders a # (" ), b # (" ) andf # (" ) into account, and to obtain the generalized Bernoulli-Navier displacement form and consequently existence and uniqueness of the solution of problem (7). It is then that we resort to the techniques in [6]. Particularly, the following lemma is of the utmost importance: Lemma 2. Let " 2 C 3 ( L IR 3 ) be such that its Frenet trihedron (t " n " b " ) is a positively oriented orthonormal basis of IR 3 and satises Frenet equations for curvature " and torsion " ([1]).

The obtained model Problem (7) is equivalent to the following dierential problem: E(I b ) ; AE[ ( 3 + )] = F + M b in ( L) (3) ;AE[ 3 + ] = F 3 in ( L) i () = i (L) = () = (L) =: The preceding equations amount to being the base of the general rst order model for the curved rod, which is valid regardless of the applied forces, and has been obtained with no a priori hypotheses. The equations are written in terms of the limit quantities on the reference rod in order to obtain the approximate model for ^ " (">) we have to come back to quantities ^u " and ^ " 33 dened in ^ " by(cf.(1)): ^u " (^x" )=" ;1 u (x) ^u" 3 (^x" )=u 3 (x) ^" 33 (^x" )=33 (x): (31) From (5) and (6) we obtain that ^u " and ^ 33 " are of the following form: ^u " (^x" )=^ " (x 3) ^u " 3 (^x" )= ^ " 3 (x 3) ; b " (^x" )^ " (x 3) (32) ^ 33(^x " )=E " [^ 3 " (x 3 ) ; b " (^x " )^ " (x 3 )+ " (x 3 )^ " (x 3 )] (33) b " 1 (^x" )=x " 1b 1 (x 3 ) ; x " 2b 2 (x 3 ) b " 2 (^x" )=x " 1b 2 (x 3 )+x " 2b 1 (x 3 ) (34) where ^ " = ";1, ^ 3 " = 3. Therefore ^ " and ^ " 3 satisfy dierential equations of the same typeas(3): E " (I b " ) ; E " A " [ " (^ " 3 + " ^" )] = F " +(M b " ) in ( L) (35) ;E " A " [^ 3 " + " ^" ] = F 3 " in ( L) (36) ^ " i () = ^ " i (L) =and ^ " () = ^ " (L) =: (37) where F " i = f " " i d " + I b " = b " " " g " i d " M b " = " b " f " 3 d " + b " " g" 3 d " (38) b " (39) We remark that the model here found is indeed a generalization of simpler models found in literature on shallow arch theory. In this way wehave simultaneously justied a priori assumptions of a geometrical nature by showing the \limit displacement"eld ^u " is a Bernoulli-Navier eld in the sense (32). As in the shallow shell case studied in [6], no confusion arises between variables x " 2 " and ^x " 2 ^ ", carefully distinguished throughout the de-scaling process.

7 A BENDING AND STRETCHING ASYMPTOTIC THEORY Some examples Further discussion of shallow arch theorywould involve the study of how well the obtained model ties in with classical theories. However we have not met with the same success as in classical straight rod theories (see [2, 3,4] among others). The long and short of it is that whenever we have tried to look into classical shallow arch theory, we feel the authors make use of simplifying a priori hypotheses wherever they meet lengthy orunwieldy calculations, which makes the whole theory appear rather mystifying from the mathematician's viewpoint, though perhaps not so from the engineer's. Nevertheless we shall verify that our asymptotic curved rod theory is consistent with asymptotic straight rod theory. Thus we shall examine the particular case of a planar centerline. Let us so suppose that 2 " for example, so that C " is a plane curve. Then the simplied model for the curved rod would be written as: with E " I " 1(^ " 1) (4) ; E " A " [ " 1 (^ " 3 + " 1 ^" 1 )] = F " 1 +(M " 1) in ( L) ^ " 1() = ^ " 1(L) = ^ " 1 () = ^ " 1 (L) = (1) ;E " A " [^ " 3 + " 1 ^" 1 ] = F " 3 in ( L) ^ " 3() = ^ " 3(L) = (2) E " I " 2(^ " 2) (4) = F " 2 +(M " 2) in ( L) ^ " 2 () = ^ " 2 (L) = ^ " 2 () = ^ " 2 (L) = (3) I " = (x " ) 2 d M " " = x " f 3 " d + x " g 3 " d: (4) " " Thus exure ^ 2 " is now decoupled from ^ 1 " and stretch ^ 3 ", and the last two are coupled themselves. In the case of a straight rodwewould have 1 "(x" 3 )=a" x " 1,wherea" is a nonzero constant in general, and equals zero if system O^x " 1^x" 2^x" 3 is principal of inertia. In this last case we would have: E " I " 1(^ " 1) (4) = F " 1 +(M " 1) in ( L) ^ " 1 () = ^ " 1 (L) = ^ " 1 () = ^ " 1 (L) = (5) E " I " 2 (^ " 2 )(4) = F " 2 +(M " 2 ) in ( L) ^ " 2() = ^ " 2(L) = ^ " 2 () = ^ " 2 (L) = (6) ;E " A " ^" 3 = F " 3 in ( L) ^ " 3() = ^ " 3(L) =: (7) Consequently we get the classical Bernoulli-Navier exion-extension theory for straight rods (see [2, 3]). 7. Conclusions By taking the limit in the linear three-dimensional elasticity problem, we have obtained a one-dimensional model (a new one, to our knowledge) generalizing classical Bernoulli-Navier theory for straight rods, to the case
