Abstract

The aim of this study to investigate the characteristics of a laminated composite beam with simple supports. The relations are developed between solutions of traditional theories of beams with those of the superior order shear deformation theories. Shear warp theories are those in which the effect of slanting shear strain is integrated. The interactions are developed for displacement, shear, and bending analysis. The principal equation of beam can be derived using energy and variational principles. In energy methods, the principle of virtual work or their derivatives, such as the principle of minimum potential energy is used to obtain the governing differential equations. The energy method has the advantage of providing information in the form of boundary conditions. The results of displacement, shear, and bending of a laminated composite beam are given for other shear deformation theories, in order to illustrate the influence of thick beam on the still behavior of beam.
