Beam

Hi!

I have a question regarding the beam deflection. As shown in the pic, the roller constraint is applied on the bottom of the beam(Beam A) rather than neutral axis(Beam B). Could anybody help to provide some information about Beam A hand calculation?

Thanks!

Hello,

The attached file describes the development of the transformation matrix of a beam element:

Hi every body,

I'm tring to make a beam by using beam elements in Abaqus like this:

Hi everyone,

Has anyone ever come across the treatment of radiation heat transfer in one-dimensional beams using FEM ? Convection and conduction are well established, but I was wondering whether radiation is still an open area of research?

 Any links to publications would be very much appreciated, Thank you

Lately I began to wonder why I hadn't learned how to calculate the beam shear stiffness in college. I vaguely recalled that the teacher told us the shear stiffness could be omitted in the beam calculation compared to the bending stiffness.

Can anybody show me how to calculate the shear stiffness if it is large enough and cannot be ignored?  Like the example shown in the picture below

Dear All,

I am wondering that is there any closed form solution for beam on elastic foundation in case which we have got two stiffness for the springs namely (axial and shear stiffness). The axial force are born because of the some loading conditions in the support.Would you please help me about this?

Thank you,

Hello everybody,

 I need some help. I have a lot of problems trying to implement the MMA or GCMMA optimizer in the Sigmund's Topology Optimization code (99 lines). Have you ever do that?. Please, is very important for my pregraduate thesis.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am looking at some deformations in beams.  I have an elastic beam sleeping on another elastic beam and connected via springs that have two dimensional stiffness. Anybody knows how should I go for closed form solution of this beam and obtain deformations in springs??? I can model it in sap2000 or ABAQUS and solve it at there but I am now looking for only closed form solution... Besides, I am looking for deformations in spring caused by applied load. I have attached a sketch of my model. Any idea or comment will be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your comment, 

I am a novice user of abaqus and trying to model crack growth in rc beams with longitudinal reinforcement and stirrups under dynamic loads by try and error method

How to connect a beam to a shell element in FEM and a shell to a solid? All the three differ in their dof's.
