Approximate Analytical Solutions for Large Flexural and Shear Deformations of Uniformly Loaded Simply Supported Bimodular Beam

Abstract

In this paper an analytical approximate solution for large flexural deformations, shear deformationsand shear stresses of a bimodular uniformly loaded simply supported beam has been developed.Verification for the solution has been performed using FEM analysis with ANSYS. The results ofthe program were very close the results of the analytical solution presented in this paper.
