(1)
Consider the total potential energy for a beam described by Timoshenko beam theory:
=0L[EI2(ddx)2+GA2(dwdx-)2-qw]dx
Here w is the vertical displacement, is the rotation angle of a fiber, q(x) is the distributed vertical load, E,A,G,, and I are Young's modulus, the beam cross sectional area, the shear modulus, the shear correction factor, and the beam moment of inertia, respectively.
(i) Show that the Euler-Lagrange equations are:
ddx(EIddx)+GA(dwdx-)=0
ddx[GA(dwdx-)]+q=0
(ii) Show that the boundary conditions at x=0 and x=L are:
