On the Accuracy of the Timoshenko Beam Theory above the Critical Frequency: Best Shear Coefficient Article uri icon

abstract

  • We obtain values for the shear coefficient both below and above the critical frequency by comparing the results of the Timoshenko beam theory with experimental data published recently. The best results are obtained, by a least-square fitting, when different values of the shear coefficient are used below and above the critical frequency. © Copyright 2016 The Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
