An analytical solution is presented for the determination of the deformation of rotating two-layer composite beams. The direction of axis of rotation is vertical and the speed of rotation is constant. The axis of rotation is in the plane of symmetry of curved beam. The source of the in-plane deformation is the stationary rotation of the curved beam. The plane of the curvature is the symmetry plane of the curved beam for its material, geometrical and supporting properties. Assumed form of the displacement field meets the prescriptions of the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Examples illustrate the applications of the presented analytical solution.
