The Shear Coefficient in Timoshenko’s Beam Theory
Journal of Applied Mechanics · 1966 · Vol. 33(2) · pp. 335–340
G.R. Cowper✉(National Research Council Canada)
Abstract
The equations of Timoshenko’s beam theory are derived by integration of the equations of three-dimensional elasticity theory. A new formula for the shear coefficient comes out of the derivation. Numerical values of the shear coefficient are presented and compared with values obtained by other writers.
