Many beam approaches have been proposed during the last centuries by eminent scientists such as Euler, Bernoulli, Navier, Timoshenko, Vlasov, etc.  Most of these models are problem dependent: they provide reliable results for a given problem, for instance a given section and cannot be applied to a different one.  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeam Structures: Classical and Advanced Theories\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a new original unified approach to beam theory that includes practically all classical and advanced models for beams and which has become established and recognised globally as the most important contribution to the field in the last quarter of a century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) has hierarchical properties, that is, the error can be reduced by increasing the number of the unknown variables. This formulation is extremely suitable for computer implementations and can deal with most typical engineering challenges. It overcomes the problem of classical formulae that require different formulas for tension, bending, shear and torsion; it can be applied to any beam geometries and loading conditions, reaching a high level of accuracy with low computational cost, and can tackle problems that in most cases are solved by employing plate\/shell and 3D formulations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ecompares classical and modern approaches to beam theory, including classical well-known results related to Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epays particular attention to typical applications related to bridge structures, aircraft wings, helicopters and propeller blades\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eprovides a number of numerical examples including typical Aerospace and Civil Engineering problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eproposes many benchmark assessments to help the reader implement the CUF if they wish to do so\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eaccompanied by a companion website hosting dedicated software MUL2 that is used to obtain the numerical solutions in the book, allowing the reader to reproduce the examples given in the book as well as to solve other problems of their own \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mul2.com\/\"\u003ewww.mul2.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearchers of continuum mechanics of solids and structures and structural analysts in industry will find this book extremely insightful.
