Abstract

In this paper a new finite element approach for the solution of the Timoshenko beam is shown. Similarly to the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, it has been considered a single fourth order differential equation governs the equilibrium of the Timoshenko beam. The results obtained by this approach are very good, both in terms of accuracy and computational effort.
