Anisoparametric Interpolation in Hybrid‐Stress Timoshenko Beam Element
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 117, Issue 4
Abstract
A hybrid‐stress Timoshenko beam element with consistent mass and geometric stiffness matrices is presented. It is demonstrated that the use of the hybrid‐stress model removes the necessity for a finite element shear‐correction factor, which can be determined through a deflection‐matching analysis at the formulation stage of two‐node anisoparametric displacement model elements. The element is assessed by static, dynamic, and stability test problems.
