Abstract
This paper deals with curved beams with polynomial free geometry. The problem is approached analytically and the differential equations that govern the mechanical behavior of curved beams are presented. A system of twelve linear ordinary differential equations is solved using either an analytical or a customized numerical method with boundary conditions. Results of the different components of forces, moments, rotations, and displacements are given and plotted in the examples for different polynomial-shaped beams of the fourth degree. It is concluded from the present analyses that the parabolic shape has better response to distributed loads than the other polynomial-shaped beams considered.
