ALTHOUGH, in general, curved members are “anathema” to the designer of structures, there are occasions on which they are desirable. For instance, curved members in the sides or top of a cabin or fuselage very often lead to a great improvement in the appearance and comfort of an aircraft. Again, spars with flanges of varying thickness have an effective camber, while cranked push - and - pull rods are obvious examples of this type of member. On these occasions an easy method of determining the strength of such a member is very desirable.
