Two differential equations of motion in terms of deflection and cross-section rotation are comprised in one equation and analytical expressions for displacements and sectional forces are given. Two different displacement fields are recognized, i.e. flexural and axial shear, and a modified eam theory with extension is worked out. Flexural and axial shear locking-free eam finite elements are developed. Reliaility of the finite elements is demonstrated with numerical examples for a simply supported, clamped and free eam y comparing the otained results with analytical solutions. Key words: Timoshenko eam theory, modified eam theory, flexural virations, axial shear virations, eam finite element, shear locking. Introduction Beam is used as a structural element in many engineering structures like frames and grillages. Also, the whole structure can e modelled as a eam to some extent, e.g. ship hulls, floating airports, etc. The Euler-Bernoulli theory is widely used for the simulation of slender eam ehaviour. The theory for thick eam was extended y Timoshenko [] in order to take the effect of shear into account. The shear effect is extremely strong in higher viration modes due to the reduced mode half wave length. The Timoshenko eam theory deals with two differential equations of motion in terms of deflection and cross-section rotation. Most papers use this theory, while a possiility to use only one equation in terms of deflection has een recognized recently [,3]. The Timoshenko eam theory has come into focus with the development of the finite element method and its application in practice. A large numer of finite elements have een worked out in the last decades [4-3]. They differ in the choice of interpolation functions for a mathematical description of deflection and rotation. The application of equal order polynomials leads to the so-called shear locking since the ending strain energy for a thin eam vanishes efore the shear strain energy [6,]. Various approaches have een developed in order to overcome this prolem, ut a unique solution has not een found yet []. The prolem is partially solved y some approaches such as the Reduced Integration Element TRANSACTIONS OF FAMENA XXXVII-4 (03)

Cho A Shear Locking-Free Beam Finite Element (RIE), the Consistent Interpolation Element (CIE), and the Interdependent Interpolation Element (IIE), which are descried in [,3,4]. The aove short description of the state of the art has motivated further investigation into this challenging prolem. First, a physical aspect of the Timoshenko eam theory is analysed. It is found that actually two different displacement fields are hidden in the eam deflection and rotation, i.e. pure ending with transverse shear on one hand, and axial shear on the other. The latter is analogous to the ar stretching on an axial elastic support. The cross-section rotation and the axial shear slope are treated in the Timoshenko eam theory as one variale since they have the same stiffness in the analytical formulation. Understanding of the eam dynamic ehaviour makes the development of modified eam theory possile, which would e as exact as the Timoshenko eam theory. Based on the modified Timoshenko theory, a two-node eam finite element is developed y taking a static solution for interpolation functions. Also, a eam element is derived for axial shear virations. Both elements are shear locking-free. Illustrative examples are given and the otained results are compared with those otained in an analytical way.. Timoshenko eam theory. Basic equations The Timoshenko eam theory deals with the eam deflection and angle of rotation of cross-section, w and, respectively []. The sectional forces, i.e. ending moment and shear force, read w M D, Q S x x, () where D=EI is the flexural rigidity and S=kGA is the shear rigidity, A is the cross-section area and I is its moment of inertia, k is the shear coefficient, and E is Young's modulus and G E / is the shear modulus. The value of shear coefficient depends on the eam cross-section profile, [5] and [6]. Stiffness properties for a complex thin-walled girder are determined y the strip element method [7]. The eam is loaded with transverse inertia load per unit length, and the distriuted ending moment is expressed as w, x qx m m J t t, () where m A is the specific mass per unit length and J I is its moment of inertia. The equilirium of moments and forces M Q Q mx, qx x x leads to two differential equations w D S J 0 x x t (4) w w S m 0. x x t (5) (3) TRANSACTIONS OF FAMENA XXXVII-4 (03)

(33) Eq. (3) is known in literature as an approximate alternative of Timoshenko s differential equations, [3,0]. By comparing (3) with (9), it is ovious that the differential equation of flexural virations of the modified eam theory is of the same structure as that of the Timoshenko eam theory, ut they are related to different variales, i.e. to W and W deflection, respectively. Therefore, the general solution for W presented in Section. is valid for with all derivatives.

Concerning the higher order frequency spectrum, the governing expressions for displacements and forces, Eqs.

It is interesting that 0 is at the same time the threshold frequency of flexural virations, as explained in Section.. 4. Comparison etween the Timoshenko eam theory and the new theory 4. Dynamic response As elaorated in Section., the Timoshenko eam theory deals with two differential equations of motion with two asic variales, i.e. deflection and the angle of rotation. That system is reduced to a single equation in terms of deflection and all physical quantities depend on its solution. On the other hand, in the modified eam theory, Section 3., the total deflection is divided into the pure ending deflection and the shear deflection, while the total angle of rotation consists of pure ending rotation and axial shear angle. The governing equations are condensed into a single one for flexural virations with the ending deflection as the main variale and another variale for axial shear virations. Differential equations for flexural virations in oth theories are of the same structure, Eqs. (9) and (3), resulting in the same hyperolic and trigonometric functions in the solution for W and W. However, expressions for displacements and forces are different due to different coefficients associated to the integration constants. In order to otain the same expressions for displacements and forces in oth theories, the following relations etween the constants, ased on identical deflections, Eqs. (7) and (34), should exist J D Ai Bi, i, (46) S S J D Ai Bi, i 3,4. (47) S S Indeed, if relations (46) and (47) are sustituted into Eqs. (8), (9) and (0), and if expressions (4) and (5) for and are taken into account, expressions (8), (9), and 8 TRANSACTIONS OF FAMENA XXXVII-4 (03)

9 A Shear Locking-Free Beam Finite Element I. Senjanović, N. Vladimir, D.S. Cho (0) ecome identical to (35), (36), and (37). For illustration, let us check the identity of the first terms in expressions for shear forces, Eqs. (0) and (37) m J A D B. (48) D By taking (46) into account, (48) can e presented in the form J D J m S S D. (49) If (4) is sustituted for, relation (49) is satisfied. Based on the aove fact, flexural virations determined y the Timoshenko eam theory and its modification are identical. Therefore, axial shear virations, extracted from the Timoshenko eam theory, are not coupled with flexural virations, as assumed in Section Static response One expects that expressions for static displacements can e otained straightforwardly y deducting dynamic expressions. In the case of the Timoshenko eam theory, the static term 3 3 of Eq. (9) leads to W A0 Ax Ax A3x, and Eq. (0) gives Ψ AAx 3Ax 3. That results in the zero shear force Q, Eq. (), which is also ovious from (0) if 0 is taken into account. Therefore, in order to overcome this prolem, it is necessary to return 3 3 ack to Eqs (4) and (5) with static terms. By sustituting (5) into (4), Dd Ψ /dx 0, i.e. 3 Ψ A A x3ax is otained. Based on the known Ψ, one otains from (4) 3 D dψ D W Ψ x A A Ax A x Ax A Ax S dx S 3 d (50) On the other hand, the static part of Eq. (3) of the modified eam theory gives 3 W B B xb x B x, and from (33) it follows that 0 3 D d W 3 D W W B0 BxBx B3x B 3B3x, (5) S dx S which is an expression identical to (50). The angle of rotation is Φ = d W /dx B Bx 3Bx, which is the same as the aove Ψ in the Timoshenko eam theory Beam finite element ased on the modified eam theory The Timoshenko eam theory deals with two variales of flexural virations, W and Ψ, which are of the same importance. Therefore, in the development of the eam finite element, one takes into account the independent shape functions for W and Ψ of the same order. That leads to the shear locking prolem, which is remedied y an additional degree of freedom. That prolem can e avoided if the static solution for W and Ψ from Section 4., which includes relation (0), is used for the shape functions [3]. In that case, one otains the same eam finite element properties as for the modified eam theory. Derivation of the finite element y the latter theory is simpler and more transparent and that is why it is used here. TRANSACTIONS OF FAMENA XXXVII-4 (03) 9

Conclusion S n The Timoshenko eam theory deals with the total deflection and the cross-section rotation as two asic variales. The modified eam theory is an extension of the former from flexural to axial shear virations. The main variales are the pure ending deflection and the axial shear slope angle. The modified flexural eam theory is known in literature as an approximate variant of the Timoshenko theory. By a linear transformation of expressions for displacements and sectional forces it is shown that the modified theory is exact as the Timoshenko theory. The developed sophisticated eam finite element ased on the modified and extended Timoshenko eam theory gives very good results, the same as the D FEM analysis, when compared to the analytical solutions.
