Question 1

What is the primary distinction between TBT and EBT?

  • TBT introduces shear stress
  • TBT allows for independent rotation and deflection
  • TBT is less accurate than EBT

💡 Hint: Focus on what TBT allows that EBT does not.

Question 2

True or False: In TBT, shear strain is considered significant only for slender beams.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the effects of shear irrespective of beam dimensions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A short beam with a triangular load must be analyzed using TBT. Describe how you would approach finding its deflection and sketch the loading diagram.

💡 Hint: Sketching the beam with forces will help visualize the problem.

Question 2

Given a cantilever beam with uniform loading, derive shear force and bending moment profiles using TBT.

💡 Hint: Utilize the governing equations we reviewed.
