The presence of curved centroidal axis in tapered monosymmetric I-beams results in coupling between the axial and flexural behaviours. In this paper, an extended Timoshenko …
Non-prismatic beams are widely employed in several engineering fields, eg, wind turbines, rotor blades, aircraft wings, and arched bridges. While analytical solutions for variable cross …
Tapered beams are widely employed in efficient flexure dominated structures. In this paper, analytical expressions are derived for the six Cauchy stress components in untwisted …
The present paper combines an effective beam theory with a simple and accurate numerical technique opening the door to the prediction of the structural behavior of planar beams …
An analytical solution is presented for the 3D static response of variable stiffness non- uniform composite beams. Based on Euler-Bernoulli theory, a set of governing differential …
Abstract The Unified Formulation (UF) has gained attention as a powerful tool for efficient design of structural components. Due to the inherent flexibility of its kinematics …
Innovative manufacturing methodologies offer opportunity to fabricate tapered composite laminates without layer terminations. However, the complex mechanical behaviour of …
