The refined theory of beams, which takes into account both rotary inertia and shear deformation, was developed jointly by Timoshenko and Ehrenfest in the years

An interesting sketch of Marshal Timoshenko by a famous German dissident who fled to Russia when the Nazis came to power in his homeland. “This book is not a

Strength of materials is that branch of engineering concerned with the deformation and disruption of solids when forces other than changes in position or equili

Written by world-renowned authorities on mechanics, this classic ranges from theoretical explanations of 2- and 3-D stress and strain to practical applications

Problems arise with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory when shear deformations are present. This frequently occurs in the case of deep beams. Timoshenko beam theory in
