Abstract

In this research work, we consider the mathematical model of the Timoshenko beam (TB) problem in the form of a boundary-value problem of a system of ordinary differential equations. Instead of numerical solution using finite difference and finite volume methods, an attempt is made to derive the exact analytical solutions of the model with boundary feedback for a better and explicit description of the rotation and displacement parameters of the TB structure model. The explicit analytical solutions have been successfully found for the uniform and real-time variable load cases. The rotation and displacement profiles obtained through the analytical solutions accurately picture the structure of the beam under uniform and variable loads.
