A high-precision curvature constrained Bernoulli–Euler planar beam element for geometrically nonlinear analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• A high-precision vector interpolation method “CCIM” is developed, which presents comprehensive curve properties, e.g. Frenet frame, position, gradient and curvature at base points.

• The independent parameter of shape function is a general parameter rather than the arc-length parameter.

• The sign of curvature in bending strain is determined by a referenced vector.

• Planar strong geometrically nonlinear problems are solved by fewer proposed beam elements with the second-order vector accuracy.

• Accurate and continuous strain result between elements can be obtained.
