Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of flexural wave propagation in an infinite bar with a circular arc bend, in an infinite L-type bar with a sharp bend and in an infinite Z-type bar with two bends when excited by an incident wave. A new improved theory taking into account the effects of the extension, rotatory inertia and shearing deformation is advocated. The bending moment concentration factors for these types of bars at their important cross sections are calculated and the differences of the dynamical behaviors among these bars are clarified.
