Abstract
In this paper a finite element formulation of multilayered
beams for static analysis is developed based on a transverse
shear deformation theory which accounts piecewise linear
distribution across the interfaces between the layers of the
displacement u and satisfies the contact conditions at the
interfaces. The reference axis is assumed to be on the top
bounding surface of the beam. The element is quite versatile
and can be used to analyse not only thin beams with
neglegible shear deformation but also thick beams and
beams of sandwich construction in which shear effects are
important.
