报告内容简介：

Engineers are familiar with the theory and analysis of beams and plates based on the classical (Euler-Bernoulli/Kirchhoff) kinematic assumptions. The classical beam/plate theory is, however, not adequate in providing accurate bending, buckling, and vibration results when the thickness-to-length ratio of the beam/plate is relatively large or when the beam/plate is of sandwich construction. This is because the effect of transverse shear strains, neglected in the classical theory, becomes significant in deep beams, thick plates and sandwich beams/plates. Equations governing shear deformation theories are typically more complicated than those of the classical theory.  In this lecture, Prof CM Wang will present exact relationships between solutions of the classical theory and shear deformation theories so that whenever classical theory solutions are available, the corresponding solutions of shear deformation theories can be readily obtained. Such relationships not only furnish benchmark solutions of shear deformation theories but also provide insight into the significance of transverse shear deformation on the response.
