Coupled Bending-Bending-Torsion Vibration of a Pre-Twisted Beam with Aerofoil Cross-Section by the Finite Element Method

The present study deals with a finite element model for coupled bending-bending-torsion vibration analysis of a pretwisted Timoshenko beam with varying aerofoil cross-section. The element derived in this paper has two nodes, with seven degrees of freedom at each node. The nodal variables are transve...
