    Why does neutral axis shifts towards the center of curvature in case of curved beams?

    1) Straight beams:

    - Bending stress distribution is linear in bending of straight beams.

    - The neutral axis coincides with geometrical axis during bending of straight beams

    - Stress and strains induced in a fiber, are same in magnitude when subjected to bending moment.

    2) Curved beams:

    - Bending stress distribution is non-linear and hyperbolic in bending of curved beams.

    - The neutral axis does not coincide with the centroidal axis during bending of straight beams.

    - The neutral axis shifts towards the centre of curvature.

    - The length of inside fiber in a curved bream is shorter than outside fibers. Hence, the stress and strain induced in inside fibers is greater than outside fibers.
