A Timoshenko beam theory with built-in interlayer slip is developed to facilitate analytical means of simulating the effect of interlayer slip on the stiffness degradation of laminated beam structures. The proposed theory is unique in the sense that any well-structures interlay slip law can be adopted in the beam model. Based on the principle of virtual work, well-posed boundary value problems of the proposed beam theory are defined. It is shown that the proposed theory reduces to the existing Bernoulli-Euler beam theory with interlayer slip by introducing the kinematic constraint of zero transverse shear strain. As a demonstration of the theory the load-deflection curves of a simply supported sandwich beam subjected to a concentrated load at the center are computed for several characteristic interlayer slip laws. It is found that the proposed model has the capability of simulating the deformation of beams with wide range of interlayer bond qualities, from interface with perfect bond to interface without connectors.
