Both Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories maintain the assumptions that neither out-of-plane (warping) nor in-plane (distortion) deformation contribute to beams response. To account for shear lag effects, the inclusion of non-uniform warping is necessary, relaxing the assumption of plane cross section. The shear flow associated with non-uni...
