B1Problem description
This section was machine-translated by DeepL.

Various finite element methods are designed solely for the standard Euler-Bernoulli beam, which does not take shear deformations into account. However, there are also methods for the Mindlin beam or hybrid methods that take shear deformations into account according to Timoshenko’s theory. A beam is fixed at both ends and is loaded in two load cases: with a single load at the centre and at the quarter-point. The solution at the centre (a) is trivial; the problem at hand is the offset load at the quarter-point (b).

As this is a statically indeterminate system, the stiffness in case (b) also influences the moment curve.
