铁木辛柯梁 是20世纪早期由美籍俄裔科学家与工程师斯蒂芬·铁木辛柯 提出并发展的力学模型。[ 1] [ 2] 剪应力 和转动惯性 ，使其适于描述短梁、层合梁以及波长 接近厚度的高频 激励时梁的表现。结果方程有4阶，但不同于一般的梁理论，如欧拉-伯努利梁理论 ，还有一个2阶空间导数呈现。实际上，考虑了附加的变形机理有效地降低了梁的刚度 ，结果在一稳态载荷下挠度 更大，在一组给定的边界条件时预估固有频率 更低。后者在高频即波长更短时效果更明显，反向剪力距离缩短时也有同样效果。
铁木辛柯梁（蓝）的变形与欧拉-伯努利梁（红）的对比 如果梁材料的剪切模量 接近无穷，即此时梁为剪切刚体 ，并且忽略转动惯性，则铁木辛柯梁理论趋同于一般梁理论。
