Physically-based Dirac’s deltas functions in the static analysis of multi-cracked Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beams

Dirac’s delta functions enable simple and effective representations of point loads and singularities in a variety of structural problems, leading very often to elegant and otherwise unworkable closed-form solutions. This is the case of cracked beams under static loads, whose theoretical and practica...
