Exact solution of 3D Timoshenko beam problem: problem-dependent formulation

Problem-dependent interpolation functions for displacements and rotations are obtained from the exact analytical solution of the 3D Timoshenko beam problem by introducing a full set of boundary conditions. The developed methodology allows us to derive a new solution that coincides with the classical result of the engineering beam theory. In addition, the proposed interpolation enables exact strain recovery at any point within the problem domain.
