Summary: | A three-dimensional, two-field, variational formulation is employed to derive the differential equations governing the dynamics of stretching, shearing, bending and twisting, as well as warping modes of deformations in a spatially curved beam with arbitrary cross-section. Correspondingly, the finite element discretization was developed for free vibration analysis based on a Timoshenko-Vlasov thin-walled theory, including the effects of flexural-torsional coupling, shear deformations due to flexure as well as torsional warping, and rotary inertia. Attention was given to the significant curvature effects on the results in cases involving unsymmetric cross-sections of the thin-walled type. Several numerical examples are given to demonstrate the high accuracy and effectiveness of the element developed. |
