The objective of this portion of the study is to develop a general theory for the analysis of the layered beams within the system including the effects of interlayer slip. The development leads to the governing equations for beams having a single axis of symmetry and an arbitrary number of layers and fastened together with mechanical connectors. Solutions to the governing equations are presented in closed form and in finite difference approximation. These solutions show the effect of interlayer connection on the deflection. In all cases, consideration is given to variation of properties along the beam length. The results of some tests are presented. The proposed theory is shown to agree favorably with the results obtained in the tests.technical reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
