This course on advanced beam theory comprises
loading of beams in axial and transversal directions, bending and torsion. Beam
theories for bending according to Bernoulli-Euler
and Timoshenko are covered as well as theories for torsion according to St
Venant and Vlasov. The course also covers the basics of theory for analysis of
instability in a beam. Stress states in for example thin walled beams with open
cross sections, and in beams with cross sections that vary in axial direction
are calculated and discussed.
