Summary

This paper outlines an analytical method for computing normal and shear stresses generated in a curved laminated beam under bending loads. Each cross section is assumed to be symmetrical and loads are applied in the plane of symmetry. We build a statically admissible stress field in order to plot normal and shear stress distributions.
