Perhaps, this paper reports the ยฎrst successful applications of the topology optimization in the design of (thinwalled) beam sections. In particular, topologically dierent thin-walled beam cross sections can be obtained by the present approach, which is very useful in identifying the direction and l

## Abstract Problems of shape optimization for thinโwalled beam crossโsections are investigated. In particular, shape optimization under torsional loading is treated. The shape of the beam crossโsection is described by nonโuniform rational __B__โsplines (NURBs). Biquadratic and __p__โversion finite
A theoretical model for viscoelastic beams with variable section is derived using the principle of virtual work; a linearization is then obtained and stationary solutions are numerically studied. This allows a brief study of their stability and an interpretation in terms of damping. In particular a
This paper reviews on the modeling of composite beam cross-sections. Theoretical models are available for simple composite beam cross-sections. But computational technique, such as finite element analysis (FEA), is considered for complex composite beam cross-sections. It is found from the literature
