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 ...

This work presents a new formulation of the geometrically exact thin walled composite beam theory. The formulation assumes that the beam can undergo arbitrary kinematical changes while the strains remain small, thus ...

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

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 work presents the derivation of a small strain tensor compatible with the geometrically exact kinematics of the thin walled composite beam theory. The formulation is based on the expression of the Green strain tensor ...

The dynamic stability behavior of thin-walled rotating composite beams is studied by means of the finite element method. The analysis is based on Bolotin's work on parametric instability for an axial periodic load. The ...

The dynamic stability of functionally graded thin-walled beams allowing for shear deformability is investigated in this article. The analysis is based on a model that has small strains and moderate rotations which are ...

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 ...
