Say I have a wooden beam with an angled pattern in it if the beam is flexed (and assuming First order shear deformation theory holds: parallel lines remain parallel after flexing) what would the flexed pattern look like?
I think it would look like the pattern in the middle picture since the strain is linear but I'm being told by somebody else that it will look something like the bottom picture when flexed.
Can somebody with some knowledge on deformation confirm one or the other.
