shear strains

EK589

Presence of shear strains causes the section to warp. Its effect in the flanges is to modify the bending stresses obtained by the simple theory, producing higher stresses near the […]

EK214

The simple theory of bending is based on the assumption that plane sections remain plane after bending. In reality shear strains cause the section to warp. The effect in the […]

EK213

When a beam is bent elastically by a system of transverse loads, plane sections no longer remain plane after bending, but are warped by shear strains.
