This paper presents three beam Finite Element (FE) formulations developed for the analysis
of thin-walled structures. These account for out-of-plane cross-section warping by removing …

In this paper, a new formulation of beam finite element (B3S) is developed for predicting the
performance of shear lag and shear deformation effects in thin-walled single-and multi-cell …

A quasi-3D finite element model (FEM) with a low computational cost is presented for
coupled bending and torsional–warping analysis of thin-walled beams. The presented FEM …

In this contribution, a homogenized beam finite element for modal analysis considering a
double symmetric cross-section made of a Functionally Graded Material (FGM) is presented …

Towards improving conventional beam elements in order to include distortional effects in
their analysis, independent parameters have been taken into account in this study. Curved …

This study proposes a new analytical flexure theory that considers the shear deformation of
the web and flange of a thin-walled box girder. Starting with the relationship between the …

In this paper an advanced 32× 32 stiffness matrix and the corresponding nodal load vector
of a 3-D beam element of arbitrary cross section taking into account shear deformation …

This paper describes the computational aspects of the beam Finite Element formulation
recently developed by the authors to simulate the nonlinear response of structural members …

The purpose of this article is to review the impact of stiffening the flange on the flexural
behavior of box beams. Steel box beams with stiffeners applied to their flanges have a …

In higher-order beam theories, cross-sectional deformations causing complex responses of
thin-walled beams are considered as additional degrees of freedom. To fully capture their …
