A new finite element beam formulation for modelling flexible multibody systems undergoing large rigidbody motion and large deflections is developed. In this formulation, the motion of the 'nodes' is referred to a global inertial reference frame. Only Cartesian position co-ordinates are used as degre
## Abstract This work deals with the development of a new C^1^ finite element for analysing the bending and torsional behaviour of rectangular piezoelectric laminated/sandwich composite beams. The formulation includes transverse shear, warping due to torsion, and elasticβelectric coupling effects.
