Rotating composite beams and blades have a wide range of applications in various
engineering structures such as wind turbines, industrial fans, and steam turbines. Therefore …

Wright brothers flew in 1903, and Sikorsky built and started flying the first operational
helicopter, the R-4 or (VS-316), in 1942. The R-4 was a three-bladed helicopter with a rotor …

Description From an authoritative expert whose work on modern helicopter rotor blade
analysis has spanned over three decades, comes the first consistent and rigorous …

Nonlinear Analysis of Structures presents a complete evaluation of the nonlinear static and
dynamic behavior of beams, rods, plates, trusses, frames, mechanisms, stiffened structures …

An asymptotically exact methodology, based on geometrically nonlinear, three-dimensional
elasticity, is presented for analysis of prismatic, nonhomogeneous, anisotropic beams. The …

Presented here are numerical verifications of a geometrically-exact curved beam model
which fully accounts for large rotations, large displacements, initial curvatures and …

Prior to the computer era, analytical methods in elasticity had already been developed and-
proved up to impressive levels. Relevant mathematical techniques were extensively …

A new approach is used to develop a geometrically exact nonlinear beam model for
naturally curved and twisted solid composite rotor blades undergoing large vibrations in …

The focus of the present work is directed towards the one‐dimensional non‐linear analysis
of space‐curved and twisted beams undergoing large displacements and finite rotations …

The aim of this paper is to present a consistent theory for the deformation of a naturally
curved and twisted anisotropic beam. The proposed formulation naturally extends the …
