A non-linear thin-walled beam theory
Abstract
A non-linear thin-walled beam theory for elastic beams of open section is presented. The theory takes into account geometric non-linearities and longitudinal deformations caused by large cross-sectional rotation of the beam. The non-linear differential equations are derived by the minimum potential energy principle. The boundary conditions associated with the differential equations are obtained. It is shown that the set of equations reduces to …
