The Timoshenko beam element is studied in an investigation of shear locking in the development of C(0) continuous elements using shear-flexible or penalty function type formulations. A penalty type argument is used to degenerate thick elements to thin elements, and the various approximations of the shear related energy terms act as different types of constraints. Depending on the formulation, two types of constraints may emerge, which are classified as true or spurious. Formulations that ensure only true constraints in the extreme penalty limit cases display superior performance in the thick element situation. The argument is extended to a shallow curved Timoshenko beam, and another mechanism, inplane locking, arises if all energy terms corresponding to the membrane energy are exactly integrated.
