Summary
A geometrically nonlinear beam model suitable to describe complex three-dimensional
effects arising from non-uniform warping including non-standard in-plane distortions
of the cross-section or from the anisotropy and heterogeneity of the material is presented.
Each section is endowed with a corotational frame where statics and kinematics
are described using a refined linear elastic model which exploits a semi-analytical
solution of the Cauchy continuum problem based on a finite element discretization of
the cross-section. The stress field in this way is fully three-dimensional, permitting the
recovery of the standard Saint Venant solution or its generalization to inhomogeneous
and anisotropic materials, while some additional relevant strain modes of the crosssection
are evaluated in a simple way. Buckling analysis results are presented and
compared with reference solutions obtained using the commercial code ABAQUS.
