Stress-Based FEM in the Problem of Bending of Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko Beams Resting on Elastic Foundation

The stress-based finite element method is proposed to solve the static bending problem for the Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko models of an elastic beam. Two types of elements—with five and six degrees of freedom—are proposed. The elaborated elements reproduce the exact solution in the case of the pi...
