{wiki=Timoshenko–Ehrenfest_beam_theory}
The Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory is an advanced framework for analyzing the behavior of beams that takes into account both bending and shear deformations. This theory improves upon the classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, which only considers bending deformations and assumes that cross-sections of the beam remain plane and perpendicular to the beam's axis during deformation.
