Abstract

This study revisits Timoshenko beam theory (TBT). It discusses at depth a more consistent and simpler governing differential equation. The so-called second spectrum is also addressed. Then, we provide the asymptotic justification of the aforementioned differential equation along with detailed discussion of the boundary and initial conditions. The paper also presents remarks of historical character, in the context of other pertinent studies.
