Exact Solutions for Buckling and Second-Order Effect of Shear Deformable Timoshenko Beam–Columns Based on Matrix Structural Analysis

Shear deformable beams have been widely used in engineering applications. Based on the matrix structural analysis (MSA), this paper presents a method for the buckling and second-order solutions of shear deformable beams, which allows the use of one element per member for the exact solution. To devel...
