How to calculate the shear stiffness of a beam
Lately I began to wonder why I hadn't learned how to calculate the beam shear stiffness in college. I vaguely recalled that the teacher told us the shear stiffness could be omitted in the beam calculation compared to the bending stiffness.
Can anybody show me how to calculate the shear stiffness if it is large enough and cannot be ignored? Like the example shown in the picture below
Postdoc position available in Compuational Materials Modeling
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of North Texas (UNT) seeks highly qualified applicants for a postdoctoral researcher position in computational materials modeling. The successful candidate will work on multiscale modeling of defects and microstructures (e.g., dislocations, grain boundaries, etc), and damage and failure of materials to design and evaluate advanced superalloys for aerospace applications, as part of the federally-funded research program in the Institute for Science and Engineering Simulation (ISES).

Short Course: Engineering of Durable Elastomeric Structures, 26-27 July 2011, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Elastomers are outstanding in their ability to repeatedly endure large deformations, and they are often applied where fatigue performance is a critical consideration. Because the macromolecular structure of elastomers gives rise to a number of unique behaviors, appropriately specialized methods are needed to characterize, analyze, and design for durability. This 2-day course provides the know-how for engineering durable elastomeric components and systems. The course is taught at Axel Products, and includes live demos of typical behavior.
Creep modeling in ABAQUS
i am doing about creep response of wood/PVC composite beam by ABAQUS. and now there is problems to find the value/paremeters fill-in the creep mode such as Power law multiplier, Eqstress order, Time order. and other reccomend
please look at a attached file.
