A new displacement-based ΓΏnite element is developed for thin-walled box beams. Unlike the existing elements, dealing with either static problems alone or dynamic problems only with the additional consideration of warping, the present element is useful for both static and dynamic analyses with the co
## Abstract Torsion is one of the primary actions in members curved in space, and so an accurate spatially curvedβbeam element needs to be able to predict the elastoβplastic torsional behaviour of such members correctly. However, there are two major difficulties in most existing finite thinβwalled
Timoshenko's and Vlasov's beam theories are combined to produce a Co finite element formulation for arbitrary cross section thin-walled beams. Section properties are generated using a curvilinear co-ordinate system to describe the cross section dimensions. The element includes both shear and warping
