Abstract

Starting from the equations of the linear, three-dimensional theory of elasticity, the displacements are expanded into power series in the width- and height-coordinates. By invoking the uniform-approximation method in combination with the pseudo-reduction technique, a hierarchy of beam theories of different orders of approximation is established. The first-order approximation coincides with the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, whereas the second-order approximation delivers a Timoshenko-type of shear-deformable beam theory. Differences and implications are discussed.
