Analytical Solution for Solving Bending Problem of Orthotropic Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the two-dimensional theory of elasticity, Hamiltonian system is introduced to solve the bending of orthotropic beams and the original problems come down to solve the eigensolutions of zero eigenvalue. The symplectic concept makes no hypothesis of deformation along the thickness direction. Thus, the current method can precisely analyze beams with arbitrary depth-to-length ratio, and can deal with arbitrary end conditions. In additional, a new improved boundary conditions for fixed ends beam is presented. Numerical examples showing comparison with other methods are given to illustrate the accuracy of the present approach.
