I don't have any moment diagram or equation because the bending is induced by a non uniform temperature gradient. Thats why I need to do it geometrically. I think I've manged to solve the problem with the geometry and i've set up the excel sheet to automate the process for more cases, but i...
The curvature is defined by 1/R, where R is the radius of the circle that approximate the curved line in one point of a curved line. I guess I could find a curvature value for every 3 cosecutive points of the beam (there is only one circle that can contain 3 points),but in theory the results...
Hi, I apologize form my english, which is not the best.
I need to find geometrically the curvature of a beam of which I know exaclty the geometry in the deformed condition (I know the coordinates of every point of the beam). I've tried few methods but the results differ one from another, so I...
