The flexural stiffness for a horizontally curved beam element is developed for nodal parameters wi, (a wlds),, pi, (@/as),, (a'p/ds'),, (d3p/as3), by assuming a cubic displacement function for vertical deflection w, and a seventh order polynomial function for the angle of twist /3, along the length

β¦ Synopsis
The purpose of this work is to show the successful use of nodeless degrees of freedom in developing a highly accurate, locking free hybrid-mixed C curved beam element. In the performance evaluation process of the present field-consistent higher-order element, the effect of field consistency and the role of higher-order interpolation on both displacement-type and hybrid-mixed-type elements are carefully examined. Several benchmark tests confirm the superior behaviour of the present element.

It is known that finite elements try to capture stresses within each discretized local region in a 'best-fit' sense. In the paper we examine the performance of a beam element based on a higher-order shear deformation theory and show that the best-fit paradigm accounts for the manner in which through
In this paper, hybrid-mixed elements for static and vibration analyses of curved beams are presented. The proposed elements based on the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle employ the consistent stress parameters corresponding to the displacement fields with additional internal nodeless degrees
Two sets of strain definitions for analysis of curved Mindlin beams and axi-symmetric shells are examined. Their conventional finite element implementations are shown to be unsuitable. The parameter used as a nodal degree of freedom in the first conventional method to describe the cross section rota
