ABSTRACT: Composite beams that consist of two components juxtaposed with a shear connection find
widespread applications. The interlayer slip affects the behaviour, and therefore mathematical models that con-
sider the interlayer slip is adopted in their analysis. In the numerical analysis of composite beams, inconsistencies
in the shape functions of the transverse and longitudinal ...
