Abstract

A two-dimensional analytical solution is presented for stresses and displacements in an elastic curved beam forming an incomplete ring in frictionless and unbonded contact with a rigid pin loaded by a point force and in the presence of clearance. The circular beam is modelled as an incomplete elastic thick ring, constrained at both ends and in a plane stress state. The stress and displacement fields within the beam are derived from a biharmonic Airy stress function, according to the Michell solution in polar coordinates. The mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a set of dual series equations and then to a non-homogeneous linear system of infinite equations, which is then solved by truncation. The non-linear relations between the applied load and the contact angle or the pressure distribution are obtained by using an inverse method. The analytical results are compared with finite element predictions for a pin-lug connection and a reasonable agreement is observed for several typical geometries. The peaks of contact pressure and von Mises equivalent stress and their location within the curved beam are evidenced.
