Abstract
A sandwich curved beam subjected to a uniform loading is experimentall y investigated. Load-deflection and thrust-deflection dependencies are shown to be nonlinear, while load-deformation dependencies for sandwi ch faces are found to be linear. A technical solution for implementati on of the simple support is realized. An actual stiffness of the beam tie is measured experimentally and estimated theoretically.
