Abstract:An extension of Boley’s continuum mechanics-based successive approximation method is presented for rectangular beams composed of two isotropic linear elastic layers. The solution is cast into the form of tables, in complete analogy to the tables originally presented by Boley and Tolins for single-layer strips. The first column in these tables corresponds to the classical Bernoulli–Euler theory of beams. The further columns represent comparatively fast converging correction terms of an increasing refinement. Ou… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
