✦ Synopsis

A new finite element for the analysis of thin-walled open beams with an arbitrary cross section is presented. Combining Timoshenko beam theory and Vlasov thin-walled beam theory, the derived element includes both flexural shear deformations and warping deformations caused by the bimoment. By adopting an orthogonal Cartesian co-ordinate system, one can obviate the ad hoc introduction of St. Venant stiffness. The derived block stiffness matrix is comparable but more general than the one given by earlier researchers. The versatility and accuracy of the new element are demonstrated by comparing the numerical results with the classical solutions or other numerical results available in the literature.

A new three-noded C 1 beam ÿnite element is derived for the analysis of sandwich beams. The formulation includes transverse shear and warping due to torsion. It also accounts for the interlaminar continuity conditions at the interfaces between the layers, and the boundary conditions at the upper and

In this paper, the outlined model is extended to cover the dynamics of thin-walled members with open or closed cross-section, making use of Hamilton's principle. Based on the displacement variational principle, a systematic method, called the spline finite member element method, is developed for vib
