A Spatial Euler-Bernoulli Beam Element for Rigid-Flexible Coupling Dynamic Analysis of Flexible Structures

A two-node spatial beam element with the Euler-Bernoulli assumption is developed for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of slender beams undergoing arbitrary rigid motions and large deformations. During the analysis, the global displacement and rotation vectors with six degrees of freedom are selected a...
