Thin-walled beams with open cross-section under torsion or complex load are studied based on the hypotheses of the classical theory (Vlasov). Di erent from previous techniques presented in the literature, the concept of a strip-plate is introduced. This concept is used to accurately model the e ect

โฆ Synopsis
A new method for computing the deformation of thin-walled beams with closed cross-section under warping torsional loading is presented. In comparison to the classical theory (Umanski), the hypothesis of no deformation of the contour of the cross-section of the beam is maintained and the assumption of no distortion of the cross-section plane is modified. The new approach gives better results than the classical theory when both are compared to a standard finite element technique (using shell elements). The central idea of the new approach lies in the usage of a new finite element called a macro-element, which is especially well suited for thin-walled beam computations.
