High-Accuracy Analysis of Beams of Bimodulus Materials
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 126, Issue 2
Abstract
Recently, several authors have treated the problems of bending of beams of bimodulus materials. The present paper, applies Levinson beam theory, which includes shear deformation and warping of the cross section, to bending analysis of thick rectangular beams with bimodulus materials. Many numerical results are obtained by use of the transfer matrix approach and compared with the methods of Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, Timoshenko beam theory, and Levinson beam theory with various boundaries. Also, the neutral-surface location and displacements for beams of bimodulus materials are calculated.
