Thin-walled curved beams are extensively used in engineering applications when requirements of weight saving are of primary importance. This is especially true when composite materials are used. For the analysis of isotropic ...

This paper presents numerical study about the influence of the shear flexibility, due to either bending and warping, on the out-of-plane free vibration of continuous horizontally curved thin-walled beams with both open and ...

The aim of this work is to describe an analysis of the transverse shear deformation in the dynamics of thin-walled composite beams. Some thin-walled-composite-beam models, which are derived by means of different approaches ...

This paper presents numerical study about the influence of different types of configurations of composite material son the dynamic response of box curved beams.

In this paper, a problem formulation and solution methodology for optimal design of thin-walled composite beams is presented. The aim is to maximize the buckling load capacity and minimize the weight of the beam. For this ...

In this paper, a theoretical model is developed for the dynamic analysis of composite thin-walled beams with open or closed cross-sections. The present model incorporates, in a full form, the shear flexibility (bending and ...

In this paper, a theoretical model is developed for the stability analysis of composite thin-walled beams with open or closed cross-sections. The present model incorporates, in a full form, the shear flexibility (bending ...
