Mixed finite element analysis for arbitrarily curved beams

Bibliography: pages 90-94. === A convergence of a mixed finite element method for three-dimensional curved beams with arbitary geometry is investigated. First, the governing equations are derived for linear elastic curved beams with uniformly loaded based on the Timoshenko-Reissner-Mindlin hypothese...
