Assumptions, Limitations and Applications of Bernoulli’s Equation
Abstract: The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, also called “beam theory”, is a condensed version of the linearisotropic theory of elasticity and can be used to predict the load-carrying and deflection properties ofbeams. It was initially stated around the year 1750, but it was not widely used until the Eiffel Towerand the Ferris Wheel were built in the late 19th century. It immediately became an engineering pillarand a catalyst for the Second Industrial …
