Summary
In this paper a procedure leading to a one-dimensional continuum that describes the
nonlinear elastic behaviour of thin walled beams with open cross-sections, is introduced.
The starting point is the theory proposed by Koiter which describes the deformation
of the plate in a kinematically exact way. By assuming some fair constraints on
the plate motion, its deformation measures can be described by means of the standard
strain measures of nonlinear beam theory and their first gradients. Given that the plate
is thin and made up by a material that is isotropically elastic and linear in the twodimensional
finite strains, its strain energy is written in terms of the one-dimensional
strains leading to a hyper elastic model of grade two. The buckling and postbuckling
behaviour of a simply supported, axially loaded channel beam, is analyzed and the
results compared with those obtained using ABAQUS and those reported in previous
work by some of the authors.
