## Abstract This paper deals with the problem of a throughβcracked tubular joint behaviour modelling. A new beam finite element has been created, in order to take into account the loss of stiffness of the joint due to throughβthickness crack presence, and the coupling between axial force and bendin

β¦ Synopsis
A method for simplifying "nite element models of structures having a beam-like global dynamical behaviour is presented. This method is based on the use of a general uniform beam "nite element formulation. It takes into account both transverse shear e!ects and dynamical coupling between bending and torsion due to the fact that mass centres and shear centres do not always coincide. For that purpose, we develop a condensation method for reducing any shell model into an equivalent beam, as well as a technique for automatically identifying the corresponding set of beam parameters. The method is applied to several illustrate examples that demonstrate its ability to simplify "nite element models for many kinds of sophisticated structures having a beam-like predominant behaviour.

The Finite Element method is combined with a Statistical Energy Analysis-like (SEAL) energy flow balance to derive the power transmission between two thin plates. A fundamental difference between SEA and the SEAL procedure is that the former is applied to ensembles, while the latter addresses the in
