8(2011) 183 – 195 ∗ A Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory (HPSDT) taking into account transverse shear deformation effects, is used for Department of Applied Mechanics, Govern- the static flexure analysis of thick isotropic beams. The dis- ment College of Engineering, Aurangabad- placement field of the theory contains two variables. The 431005, Maharashtra State – India hyperbolic sine function is used in the displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate to represent shear deformation. The transverse shear stress can be obtained directly from the use of constitutive relations, satisfying the shear stress-free Received 20 Dec 2010; boundary conditions at top and bottom of the beam. Hence, In revised form 21 Dec 2010 the theory obviates the need of shear correction factor. Gov- ∗ Author email: ghugal@rediff erning differential equations and boundary conditions of the theory are obtained using the principle of virtual work. Gen- eral solutions of thick isotropic simply supported, cantilever and fixed beams subjected to uniformly distributed and con- centrated loads are obtained. Expressions for transverse dis- placement of beams are obtained and contribution due to shear deformation to the maximum transverse displacement is investigated. The results of the present theory are com- pared with those of other refined shear deformation theories of beam to verify the accuracy of the theory. hyperbolic sh
