AC0 finite element formulation for thin-walled beams

Timoshenko's and Vlasov's beam theories are combined to produce a C0 finite element formulation for arbitrary cross section thin-walled beams. Section properties are generated using a curvilinear co-ordinate system to describe the cross section dimensions. The element includes both shear and warping deformations caused by the bending moments and the bimoment. A Gauss quadrature order is employed which exactly integrates the bending and warping stiffness matrices and provides a reduced integration order for the shear stiffness matrices. Numerical results are presented for a channel section cantilever beam. The influence of shear deformation is investigated and the calculated results are shown to be in excellent agreement with the classical solutions.
