Improved Thin-Walled Finite Curved Beam Elements
The two- and three-noded spatially coupled thin-walled finite curved beam elements are presented on the basis of assumed strain fields. These elements consider the extensional/inextensional conditions along the centroid axis of curved beam. For curved beams with the extensional condition, the two-no...
