Comparison of various refined beam theories for the bending and free vibration analysis of thick beams

In this paper, unified shear deformation theory is used to analyze simply supported thick isotropic beams for the transverse displacement, axial bending stress, transverse shear stress and natural frequencies. This theory enables the selection of different in-plane displacement components to represe...
