description In this paper, a space-time finite element method based on a Galerkin-weighted residual method is proposed to solve the nonlinear fully intrinsic equations of geometrically exact beam which are first-order partial differential equations about time and space. Therefore, it is natural to discretize it in time and space simultaneously. Considering the continuity and intrinsic boundary conditions in the spatial direction and the continuity and periodic boundary conditions in the time direction, the boundary value scheme of space-time finite element for solving the full intrinsic equations is derived. This method has been successfully applied to the static analysis and dynamic response solution of the fully intrinsic equations of nonlinear geometrically exact beam. The numerical results of several examples are compared with the analytical solution, existing algorithms, and literature to illustrate the applicability, accuracy and efficiency of this method.
