Linear and non-linear finite element analysis of shear-corrected composites box beams

The Updated Lagrangian formulation for non-linear finite element analysis is applied to the problem of thin-walled composites box beams undergoing large displacements. A shear correction factor for thin-closed rectangular sections is introduced into some terms of the variational formulation and its...
