ANISOPARAMETRIC INTERPOLATION IN HYBRID-STRESS TIMOSHENKO BEAM ELEMENT

The anisoparametric displacement assumptions are incorporated with a modified form of the hybrid stress functional to obtain the element-stiffness and consistent-mass matrices for a 2-node Timoshenko beam element. The element gives accurate displacements and bending moments throughout the beam, without any finite element shear correction. The success of the element in static and eigenvalue problems implies that the hybrid-stress model equipped with anisoparametric displacement interpolations provides a powerful tool in the finite element formulations for bending problems.
