Bending stocky S4R beam
Thu, 2012-08-30 14:54 - Staszkinson
Hello
I'm working on stocky S4R I-beam(nonlinear analysis). Span length is 1.7m and 0.5m heigth. Beam is simply spported and loaded at mid-span by concentrated force.
Unfortunately it looks like my beam is to stiff.
Deflection is smaller than I expected.
Critical load is higher than I expected.
Is this problem connected to bending and shearing stocky element?
Is it about timoshenko/bernoulli beam theory? In my case I use shell elements.
How to solve this problem? How to calibrate the model? Thank You for any advice!
