What is Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory?
'''Timoshenko beam theory''', named after the Ukrainian-American engineer [[Stephen Timoshenko]], is a classical engineering theory that describes the behavior of [[Beam (structure)|beams.]] It is an extension of [[Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory|Euler-Bernoulli beam theory]], which assumes that the [[Cross section (geometry)|cross-sections]] of the beam remain perpendicular to the axis of deformation during bending. Timoshenko beam theory, on the other hand, takes into account the effects of [[shear deformation]] and rotational inertia.
