We investigate the pure bending of an elastic prismatic beam, but unlike in the classical setting we assume that the material parameters are density-dependent. The corresponding boundary value problem admits a semi-analytical solution, and the derived formulae allow one to quickly assess the impact of density-dependent material parameters on the predicted deformation across various parameter regimes, and consequently make a decision on the importance of the density-dependent material parameters in the given setting.
