Shear effect on Beams
Shear effect on short beams
A small case study which presents the limits of classical beam theory.
The following topics are discussed:
- Comparison between analytical and numerical results
- Deflection
- Normal stresses
- Shear stresses
- Singularities and St Venant’s principle
- 1D and 3D beam analysis
- Shear effect on displacement and stresses
- Small checklist for correct numerical results (static case)
