✦ Synopsis

Plane deformations of a curved strip, composed of an homogeneous cylindrically anisotropic linearly elastic material, are considered. The strip is in equilibrium under the action of end loads, with the lateral sides traction-free. Two conservation properties for certain crosssectional stress measures are established, generalizing previously known results for the case of a rectangular strip. Such conservation properties are useful in assessing the influence of material anisotropy on Saint-Venant's principle, as well as in establishing convexity properties for cross-sectional stress measures. In particular, it is anticipated that the results should be useful in determining the extent of edge effects in the testing of anisotropic and composite curved strips.
