Description

For composite beams such as wind turbine blades and helicopter rotor blades, the cross-sectional stiffness properties in axial, shear, bending and torsion directions are coupled with each other, hence the fully-populated matrix(FPM) of cross-sectional stiffness properties is used to describe this complex coupling.

The shape functions of classical Timoshenko beam are not applicable for this new Timoshenko beam. In this tapered Timoshenko beam, the shape functions are numerically derived according to the cross-sectional fully-populated stiffness matrix(FPM), and the local mass, stiffness and damping matrices(M K R) are evaluated via Gauss quadrature. When the fully-populated stiffness matrix(FPM) includes only diagonal elements(no coupling in the cross-sectional stiffness matrix, such as a circular section made from steel), the shape functions are reduced to the occasion in classical Timoshenko beam as in ChElementBeamTaperedTimoshenko, then ChElementBeamTaperedTimoshenkoFPM is equal to ChElementBeamTaperedTimoshenko. Note that there are also ChElementCableANCF if no torsional effects are needed, as in cables.
