A composite box beam model is developed for both thin-and thick-walled composite beams.
In this analysis primary and secondary torsional warping and transverse shear effects, both …

Non-prismatic beam-like structures are widespread in many engineering and science
applications. Important examples include the rotor blades of wind turbines and helicopters …

The present paper presents an asymptotically-correct beam theory with nonclassical
sectional degrees of freedom. The basis for the theory is the variational-asymptotical …

A rigorous beam modeling approach has been developed based on the variational-
asymptotical method. A finite-element-based nonhomogeneous anisotropic initially curved …

A finite-element-based stability analysis is presented for isolated hingeless, composite rotor
blades in the hovering flight condition. The formulation is comprised of separate, but …

An asymptotically exact methodology, based on geometrically nonlinear, three-dimensional
elasticity, is presented for cross-sectional analysis of initially curved and twisted …

The present work addresses the modeling of the mechanical behavior of wind turbine
blades considered as suitable curved, twisted and tapered beam-like structures, which are …

The cross-sectional stiffness properties are derived, along with the interior solution for
prismatic as well as for initially twisted and curved composite beams, allowing for an oblique …

A finite element based stability analysis is developed for a hingeless, composite, isolated
rotor in hover. It includes a mechanism for the inclusion of a complete 6 x 6 stiffness matrix …

An analytical theory, based on Vlasov theory, is developed that accurately models the cross-
sectional elastic properties of thick-walled composite multi-celled closed section beams. The …
