Refined Beam Theory for Geometrically Nonlinear Pre-Twisted Structures

This paper proposes a novel fully nonlinear refined beam element for pre-twisted structures undergoing large deformation and finite untwisting. The present model is constructed in the twisted basis to account for the effects of geometrical nonlinearity and initial twist. Cross-sectional deformation...
