On a shear-deformable theory of anisotropic thin-walled beams: further contribution and validations

Within the framework of an existing anisotropic thin-walled beam model, a number of non-classical effects are further incorporated and the model thereby developed is validated. Three types of lay-ups, namely, the cross-ply, circumferentially uniform stiffness, and circumferentially asymmetric stiffness are investigated. The solution methodology is based on the Extended Galerkin's Method and the non-classical effects on the static responses and natural frequencies are investigated. Comparisons of the predictions by the present model with experimental data and other analytical as well as numerical results are conducted and pertinent conclusions are drawn. This work is the first attempt to validate a class of refined thin-walled beam model that has been extensively used towards the study, among others, of dynamic response, static aeroelasticity and structural/aeroelastic feedback control.
