Multilayer beam analysis including shear and geometric nonlinear effects

This thesis presents an analysis and experimental verification for a multilayer
beam in bending.
The formulation of the theoretical analysis includes the combined effect of shear and geometric nonlinearity. From this formulation, a finite element program (CUBES) is developed.
The experimental tests were done on multilayer, corrugated paper beams. Failure deflections and loads are thus obtained. The experimental results are reasonably predicted by the numerical results. Based upon this comparison,
a maximum compressive stress is determined for the tested beam.
Finally, design curves for the tested beam are drawn using the determined
maximum compressive stress and the finite element program. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Civil Engineering, Department of / Graduate
