6.1 Introduction

Review of theory of isotropic beams

6.2 Symmetry Beams

6.3 Nonsymmetric Beams

Beams are treated as special cases of plates, mainly, membrane loads are absent

or Nx = Ny = Nxy = 0

The other simpli cations will depend on the problem at hand;

eg symmetric beams Exo Eyo e Tx

y 0

Non symmetric beams Exo F O Eyo1 0 Kiyo F O

Nonsymmetric beams wont be discussed.

They bend and warp; they are also stretched or compressed, and sheared.
