A determination of the theoretical stresses in a deep beam.

Abstract

"This paper presents an analytical solution of the stress distribution in a deep beam of finite length. The beam being considered is analyzed as one of plane stress. The method employed superimposes two stress functions each of which is a trigonometric series. The first stress function satisfies all boundary conditions except that of zero stress on the vertical faces. The second function is found, so that, when combined with the first function, all boundary conditions are satisfied. The IBM 1620 digital computer is then used to find the stresses for a particular beam. The results of this analysis are then compared to those found by various authors using the finite difference method and the strain-energy method of solution"-- Abstract, p. ii
