Shear deformation might play a significant role in laminated bows with very strong face sheets and a core that is soft on shear. Things to do:
Do an analytical calculation on a simple cantilever beam with representative geometry and material properties to verify that shear deflection is significant. Document this in the theory manual.
Implement shear deformation, possibly in combination with #137
