Abstract (EN):
Under the Euler-Lagrange equation, a time-fractional dependence for the shear force in a beam in the absence of a transverse load is analysed. The main assumption is that the beam is composed by a material with a negative Young modulus. The existence of such materials is documented in several recent studies. A strategy adopting analytical calculations involving Laplace transforms concludes that, up to a known constant, the shear force can be computed as the Riemann-Liouville time-fractional derivative of order 3/2 of the deflection of the beam. This identity presents an interesting connection with the Bagley-Torvik equation.
