Thick/Slender Plane Beams. Timoshenko Theory
Chapter
First Online:
Abstract
This chapter studies Timoshenko plane beam elements. Timoshenko beam theory accounts for the effect of transverse shear deformation. Timoshenko beam elements are therefore applicable for “thick” beams \(\left(\lambda = \frac{L}{h} < 10\right)\) where transverse shear deformation has an influence in the solution, as well as for slender beams \((\lambda > 100)\) where this influence is irrelevant [Ti].
