Abstract
The stresses and deflections in rectangular beams and bars are calculated from the two-dimensional elasticity theory by an iterative procedure previously derived. The loading consists of either normal or shear forces varying smoothly along the span. The results are obtained in the form of infinite series, whose first terms represent the elementary solutions of strength of materials; the accuracy of the Mc/I and P/A formulas can thus be estimated. A comparison with the Timoshenko beam theory is included.
