In many engineering applications it is often necessary to determine the flow of shear stresses in the cross-sections of beamlike bodies. Taking a cue from Jourawski’s well-known formula, several scholars have proposed expressions for evaluating the shear stresses in non-prismatic linear elastic beams, where longitudinal variations in the size and shape of the cross-sections produces complex stress fields. In the present paper, a new shear formula, derived using a mechanical model developed in a previous work, is presented for tapered beams subject to even large displacements and small strains. Numerical examples and comparisons with results obtained using other formulas in the literature and non-linear 3D-FEM simulations show how the new formula constitutes an important generalization of the previous ones and is able to provide particularly accurate results.

Abstract

In many engineering applications it is often necessary to determine the flow of shear stresses in the cross-sections of beamlike bodies. Taking a cue from Jourawski’s well-known formula, several scholars have proposed expressions for evaluating the shear stresses in non-prismatic linear elastic beams, where longitudinal variations in the size and shape of the cross-sections produces complex stress fields. In the present paper, a new shear formula, derived using a mechanical model developed in a previous work, is presented for tapered beams subject to even large displacements and small strains. Numerical examples and comparisons with results obtained using other formulas in the literature and non-linear 3D-FEM simulations show how the new formula constitutes an important generalization of the previous ones and is able to provide particularly accurate results.
