A New Nonlinear Three Dimensional Finite Element For Curved Beams

A new nonlinear geometric curved-beam finite element is developed for three dimensional space systems by using the principal of potential energy and polynomial functions. The element is assumed to be curved in one plane only, but deformations in the three-dimensional space is considered. The element...
