Question 1

What is one of the main assumptions of Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory?

  • It accounts for shear deformation
  • Cross-sections remain perpendicular
  • It uses two independent variables

💡 Hint: Think about what stays unchanged in EBT.

Question 2

Timoshenko Beam Theory introduces which aspects?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember, it adds more complexity than EBT.

Question 1

Using Timoshenko Beam Theory, derive the governing equation relating shear force and deflection for a short beam.

💡 Hint: Refer to the governing equations discussed in class.

Question 2

Compare the results of beam deflection calculated using Timoshenko Theory against those computed using Euler-Bernoulli assumptions for a cantilever beam.

💡 Hint: Make sure to define all your variables clearly!
