We assume ha he J-shaped beam is made up of wo pars, i.e., a sraigh beam and a ellipically curved beam and ha he beam is clamped a a sraigh end. The soluion which is based on Casigliano s heorem is deduced by using numerical inegraion of he modified ellipical inegral and he differeniaion of he beam s srain energy. The soluions are shown in exac expressions and he effecs of he curvaure on he J-shaped beam deflecion are clarified. Keywords: beam heory, ellipically curved beam, deflecion, Casigliano's heorem, numerical analysis 1 Inroducion Curved beams are widely used as pars of many kinds of machines and ools. Figure 1 is an example of a curved beam, which is generally called a J-bol or hook bol. The curvaure of he J-bol can be represened by he ellipical curve. For srucural design, sresses and deflecions of he curved beams are summarized in a exbook, e.g. [1]. For he analyical convenience, many researchers have been assumed ha he curved beams have a circular curvaure, e.g. []. The deformaion of curved elasic beams including he effec of large displacemen is also discussed by A. Shinohara e al. [] and C. Gonzalez e al. [4], assuming he curvaure as a circular arc. Only Dahlberg analyzed he ellipically curved beams [5] and considered boh saically deerminae and saically indeerminae problems for he beams. In spie of he pracical use of ellipically curved beams as pars of srucures, very lile daa on he beam wih ellipical curvaure is available. The purpose of he presen paper is o obain exac soluions for boh in-plane and ou-of-plane deflecions in a J-shaped beam due o a concenraed load based on he Casigliano s heorem and o demonsrae he accuracy and usefulness of he presen approach. The soluions obained from hese formulae are compared wih he alernaive soluions available, including he resuls of a hree dimensional finie elemen mehod (- D FEM). Fig. 1 Example of J-shaped beam, or hook-bol Mehod of Soluion.1 In-plane bending of J-shaped beam The J-shaped beam, made up of wo pars, a half ellipse curve and sraigh line, is invesigaed in his paper as shown in Fig.. The half-axes of he ellipse are denoed a and b. The beam is clamped a one end and loaded wih a force P a he free end. The force P acs parallel o he plane of he ellipse. The bending siffness of he curved beam is. The equaion of he ellipse is x y 1. (1) a b And we inroduce he following θ as a parameer. x acos, y bsin.

Since he axial rigidiy k ij is defined by P/v A, we obain k ij P v A a a 4l E. (9). Ou-of-plane bending of J-shaped beam In his secion ou-of-plane deformaion of J-shaped beam will be invesigaed. The beam is clamped a one end and loaded wih a force P a he free end, see Fig.. The force P acs perpendicular o he plane of he ellipse. The bending siffness of he curved beam is and he orsional rigidiy. Differeniaion of Eq. (1) gives: dy b x x.

The conribuion of he axial force and he shear force o he srain energy U has been negleced and we assume ha cross-secion of he beam is consan. Defining he inegral erm in Eq. (4) as and applying he Casigliano's heorem, we obain he deflecion v a load P as A 1 cos 1 e cos d 1 cos 1 1 cos d E1 E1, E, (5) / Pa a va 4 l E. () Inroducing he deflecion 8Pa /(), which is he maximum deflecion of he canilever beam of span a, we have a normalized deflecion of Eq. () as va l v A E( ). (7) (8 Pa /( )) a 1 The inegral erm E (β) is funcion of he parameer β only and can be evaluaed by he numerical inegraion. The case β=1 or β= gives ha he ellipse becomes a circle or a sraigh line, respecively. In hose cases, he definie inegral E (β) can be analyically inegraed as E 1 1 1, E.559. (8) 9 Fig. Ou-of-plane loading of J-shaped beam The infiniesimal lengh of he beam ds is also given: dy ds dx dy dx 1. (11) dx 54
Inroducing he angle as shown in Fig., one obains dx 1 sin, ds dy 1 dx dy dy / dx cos. (1) ds dy 1 dx Nex, we sudy he bending momen on he beam cross-secion siuaed a angle. The bending momen M b and he orsional momen M are acing a his cross-secion. Assuming is influence on he beam deflecion is negligible, he shear force has been omied. A he cross-secion a angle, he momen equilibriums hold as follows: M b Py cos P( a x)sin, M Py sin P( a x)cos. (1) The elasic srain energy sored in he beam can now be calculaed. We have where L is he oal arc lengh of he beam. Following he Casigliano's heorem, he deflecion w A of he beam end a he loaded poin can be calculaed. Then we obain, Pl 4Pa l wa P L y cos a x sin ds L P y sin a x cos ds. (15) Pa l 1 l U P 1 y dy 1 1 M ds, (14) L L M bds Subsiuion Eq. (1) ino Eq.

This agrees wih wha can be found in some handbooks. The non-dimensional displacemen curves provided by Eq. (7) for J-shaped beams are ploed in Fig. 5 and Fig.. I can been seen ha he deflecion is proporional o he parameer and have maximum values when =1, i.e., circular arc. 1..

The J-beam is divided ino abou 1, quadraic erahedra elemens as shown in Fig. 7. The resuls obained by he wo mehods are compared in Table 1 and Fig. 8. Good agreemen beween he wo mehods can be observed. The difference beween he wo heory is mainly caused by he shear force acing on he cross-secion.. Ou-of-plane bending of J-shaped beam Nex, we consider ou-of-plane deflecions of J-shaped beam. Figure 9 shows he definie inegral values of I 1(), I (), expressed by Eq. (17). The inegrals I 1() and I () are relaed o he bending and he orsional deformaion, respecively. Hence, i is found ha he orsion conribues o he deflecion when 1.

When l/a= and =, he J-shaped beam coincides wih he sraigh one of he lengh a. I can be seen ha he deflecions increase as he parameers and l/a increase.

In he analysis, he Casigliano s heorem is employed and he deflecions of he beam are given including definie inegrals and are evaluaed hrough a numerical inegraion algorihm. Comparing wih he hree dimensional finie elemen mehod, i is demonsraed ha he presen mehod is useful and accurae, while requiring only a limied calculaion. If in-plane and ou-of-plane load ac on a J-shaped beam simulaneously, we can esimae he deflecions or sresses of he beam by superposing each resuls. References [1] W. C. Young, and R. G.
