Question 1

What is the primary advantage of Timoshenko Beam Theory over Euler-Bernoulli Theory?

  • It considers only bending.
  • It includes shear deformation.
  • It's simpler to use.

💡 Hint: Think about when shear becomes significant.

Question 2

True or False: A cantilever beam can loosely be defined as a beam that is supported on both ends.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the definition of a cantilever.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cantilever beam of length L is loaded with a force P at the free end. Using Timoshenko Beam Theory, derive the deflection equation.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to consider both moments and shear at the fixed end.

Question 2

Compare the deflection of a cantilever beam from both TBT and EBT when subjected to the same load, and determine the conditions under which each theory applies.

💡 Hint: Use a diagram to illustrate how loads affect C and D in the two theories.
