Bending of Curved Composite Beam with Interlayer Slip

Elastic two-layer curved composite beam with partial shear interaction is considered. It is assumed that each curved layer separately follows the Euler-Bernoulli hypothesis and the load slip relation for the flexible shear connection is a linear relationship. The curved composite beam is subjected to uniform bending. The paper presents solutions for stresses, radial displacement, and slip. The end cross sections of the layered curved beam are loaded by zero moment force couples, as a result of which each cross section of the beam is loaded by zero moment force couple resultant.
