This research is aimed to develop an efficient and high-performance four-node iso-
parametric beam element, which is composed of Functionally Graded Material (FGM). In …

In this paper, we develop a scheme to enrich the 3-node triangular MITC shell finite element
by interpolation cover functions. The MITC method is used for the standard and enriched …

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 …

The present paper presents a refined one-dimensional finite element model with node-
dependent kinematics. When this model is adopted, the beam theory can be different at …

Geometrically exact beams with torsion-warping deformation are studied. With three-
dimensional finite strains, the Wagner effects as well as initial curvature and twist are taken …

In this paper, we present an effective new component mode synthesis (CMS) method based
on the concept of the automated multi-level substructuring (AMLS) method. Herein, the …

A new linear model for beams with compact or thin-walled section is presented. The
formulation is based on the Hellinger–Reissner principle with independent descriptions of …

We present a geometrically nonlinear finite element formulation for analysis of functionally
graded 3D beams. The proposed formulation employs the continuum mechanics based …

A finite-element based absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) is applied to dynamic
analysis of high-speed rotating shafts. To this end, a four-node higher-order ANCF beam …

This study presents a multi-director continuum beam finite element developed for efficient
analysis of multi-layer strand cables. The beam element is derived from the continuum …
