Flexural Analysis of Thick Beam Subjected to Sine Load Using Refined Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: A Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory (HPSDT) taking into account transverse shear deformation effects is used for the static flexure analysis of thick isotropic beams. The displacement field of the theory contains two variables. The hyperbolic sine and cosine function is used in the displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate to represent shear deformation. The transverse shear stress can be obtained directly from the use of constitutive relations, satisfying the …

Thermo-elastic flexural analysis of cross-ply laminated beams
Abstract: The present paper is concerned with the thermal analysis of symmetric and antisymmetric cross ply laminated beams subjected to temperature distribution across the thickness of laminated beam. A higher order shear deformation theory is used. The displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate is expanded up to cubic term to have a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains and transverse shear stresses. This avoids the need of shear correction …

Flexure of Thick Fixed Beams Subjected to Varying Load using Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: A refined shear deformation theory for flexural analysis of thick beams, considering transverse shear deformation effects, is developed. The number of variables as in the first order shear deformation theory is kept in present theory. The important feature of present theory is that the transverse shear stresses can directly be obtained using constitutive relations. The theory does not demand shear correction factors. The principle of virtual work is used to …
