✦ Synopsis
A computer program is developed for the determination of the torsional and ¯exural properties of thin-walled beams with arbitrary open±closed cross-section. Graph theory is employed to establish the topological properties of multi-cellular cross-section, i.e., to automatically de®ne independent circuits and corresponding ®ctitious cuts that make section open. Numerical examples calculated by the program are given in the paper.

A so-called exact static stiffness matrix for a uniform beam element with open thin-walled cross-section carrying an axial compressive load is derived. This stiffness matrix is useful in an accurate calculation of bifurcation loads and corresponding buckling modes of space frames built up of such be
