Summary
The relationships of bending solutions between Timoshenko beams and Euler-Bernoulli beams are derived for uniform and non-uniform beams with elastic rotationally restrained ends. Extensions of these relationships for the cylindrical bending of Mindlin and Kirchhoff plates and for the bending of symmetrically laminated beams are also discussed. The new set of general relationships is useful because the more complex Timoshenko beam and Mindlin plate solutions may be readily obtained from their simpler Euler-Bernoulli beam and Kirchhoff plate solutions respectively, without much tedious mathematics.
