Abstract
Based on the refined theory for narrow rectangular deep beams, two different displacement boundary conditions of the fixed end of a cantilever beam are used to study the deformation of the beam. One is the conventional simplified displacement boundary condition, and the other is a new boundary condition determined by the least squares method. Three load cases are investigated, which are a transverse shear force at the free end of the beam, a uniformly distributed load at the top surface, and a linearly distributed load at the top surface, respectively. Solutions are given for both the refined theory and the Timoshenko beam theory and are compared with the known solutions from the elastic theory and results by the finite element method. It is shown that the solutions of the refined theory coincide with those of the elastic theory; the solutions from the Timoshenko theory by using the two different displacement boundary conditions are the same; the refined theory by using the new boundary condition provides better results than using the conventional boundary condition and also better than those of the Timoshenko beam theory.
