On inner shearing constraints for a direct beam model coarsely describing warping

We investigate inner shearing constraints for a direct one-dimensional beam model coarsely describing warping. In particular, we study how they affect the field equations for the elastic buckling of open thin-walled beams. We show that the distinction between the axes of the shear centres and of the centroids is crucial for the kinematics of the beam, and to derive expression of reactive actions, hence of buckling critical conditions. We also show how a suitable definition of the warping inertial action and properly introduced inner shearing constraints yield the field equations of the literature for the beam in a general dynamic setting.
