鐵木辛柯梁 是20世紀早期由美籍俄裔科學家與工程師史蒂芬·鐵木辛柯 提出並發展的力學模型。[ 1] [ 2] 剪應力 和轉動慣性 ，使其適於描述短梁、層合梁以及波長 接近厚度的高頻 激勵時梁的表現。結果方程有4階，但不同於一般的梁理論，如歐拉-伯努利梁理論 ，還有一個2階空間導數呈現。實際上，考慮了附加的變形機理有效地降低了梁的剛度 ，結果在一穩態載荷下撓度 更大，在一組給定的邊界條件時預估固有頻率 更低。後者在高頻即波長更短時效果更明顯，反向剪力距離縮短時也有同樣效果。
鐵木辛柯梁（藍）的變形與歐拉-伯努利梁（紅）的對比 如果梁材料的剪切模量 接近無窮，即此時梁為剪切剛體 ，並且忽略轉動慣性，則鐵木辛柯梁理論趨同於一般梁理論。
