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

β¦ Synopsis
The eect of shear deformation on deΒ―ection and shear deformation together with rotatory inertia on natural and cross over frequencies of curved beams are obtained using a simple cubic linear beam element having 4 degrees of freedom per node viz u, w, y and g. Studies are carried out on beams with all classical boundary conditions. From the results obtained for static and free vibration problems with dierent curvatures and slenderness ratios, it is seen that this element is suitable to analyse any curved beam problem. Numerical results obtained without including the eect of shear deformation and rotatory inertia are made use of to quantify their eect on the static and free vibration behaviour of curved beams.

A mesh-free method is presented to analyze the static de#ection and the natural frequencies of thin plates of complicated shape. The present method uses moving least-squares (MLS) interpolation to construct shape functions based on a set of nodes arbitrarily distributed in the analysis domain. Discr
