In this paper, stress in curved bar under pure bending is estimated from the principles of elasticity. It is the case of axi-symmetry. Tangential and radial stress distribution is found analytically using Airy‟s stress function in polar coordinates and with the help of necessary boundary conditions. The curved bar is numerically modelled by finite element analysis. Variation of stress values with radius is obtained. Theoretical and numerical results are in excellent agreement with each other
