Isogeometric-based cross-sectional analysis of pre-twisted composite beams
Abstract This paper is intended to investigate the static behavior of pre-twisted composite beams using an isogeometric-based cross-sectional analysis. The three-dimensional pre-twisted beam problem is decomposed into a two-dimensional cross-sectional analysis and a one-dimensional beam model. The cross-sectional analysis obtains stiffness constants by considering three-dimensional warping deformation effects. The influence of pre-twist ratio is investigated on the stiffness constants and one-dimensional deformations of isotropic beams, composite strips and box-beams. Inconsistencies in results of pre-twisted composite beam theories in the literature are addressed and discussed. The present method eliminates the costly use of three-dimensional finite element analysis in the initial design steps.
Highlights An IGA-based cross-sectional analysis of pre-twisted composite beams is presented. The effect of pre-twist is investigated on stiffness constants and 1D deformations. Using IGA, automatic mesh refinement and good convergence behavior are attained. Inconsistencies in results of pre-twisted beam theories in literature are discussed.
