Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analysis of Beam Structures Using Fully Intrinsic Equations

Download or read book Nonlinear Static and Dynamic Analysis of Beam Structures Using Fully Intrinsic Equations written by Zahra Sotoudeh and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beams are structural members with one dimension much larger than the other two. Examples of beams include propeller blades, helicopter rotor blades, and high aspect-ratio aircraft wings in aerospace engineering; shafts and wind turbine blades in mechanical engineering; towers, highways and bridges in civil engineering; and DNA modeling in biomedical engineering. Beam analysis includes two sets of equations: a generally linear two-dimensional problem over the cross-sectional plane and a nonlinear, global one-dimensional analysis.
