DISTORSIONAL ANALYSIS OF I-SECTION BEAM
Abstract
An elastic stiffness matrix was derived in the case of distortion of a restrained thinwalled I-section beam using the minimum total stationary elastic energy condition (Przemieniecki J S 1968 Theory of Matrix Structural Analysis, McGraw-Hill, NY). The function describing the angle of distortion was adopted form the solution of differential equation in the case of restrained distortion. The example presented in the paper helps to assess the correctness of the proposed solution. The proposed elastic stiffness matrix is applicable for solving distortion problems of bar structures composed of thin-walled members.
