The behaviour of pre-twisted and tapered beams (such as turbine or helicopter blades) is
characterized by stress distributions that may be quite different from those of the usual beam …

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

This paper presents an alternative to isogeometric analysis (IGA) for static analysis of planar
curved slender beams. Geometrically exact Cosserat rod model is employed to establish the …

This article presents a novel derivation for the governing equations of geometrically curved
and twisted three-dimensional Timoshenko beams. The kinematic model of the beam was …

In the present paper we study some properties of solutions of biharmonic problems. Namely,
we study the Steklov, Steklov-type and Neumann boundary value problems for the …

Nowadays, many solutions have been suggested to reduce the beam deflections and failure
rates due to the load applied in these beams. One of the introduced solutions was to provide …

Non-prismatic beamlike structures, such as helicopter and wind turbine blades, as well as
components of civil buildings and bridges, are widespread in engineering applications …

Many complex engineering structures, eg components of helicopters, wind turbines, aircraft
wings and propellers, are beamlike and non-prismatic. Structures of this kind may be …
