Shear stress analysis in engineering beams using deplanation field of special 2-D finite elements

摘要

This paper deals with the 2-D finite element shear stress analysis in beams, loaded by bending with shear and St. Venant’s torsion. The properties of these finite elements, like stiffness matrices as well as load vectors, are derived on the basis of their axial nodal displacements, e.g. by warping field. Proposed finite elements enable stress analysis independently of both cross-sectional member shape and material properties. Stiffness matrices and load vectors are derived for several finite element types. Material is assumed to be isotropic and linear elastic. For justification of the proposed stress analysis procedure, some examples are presented.
