Abstract
A three noded, 18 d.o.f. beam element is developed for beams of variable rectangular cross section, arbitrarily curved in space. The superparametric beam element is combined with the existing eight noded, 40 d.o.f. superparametric shell element for shell beam systems. To show the applicability of the formulations, some simple problems of beams and a four-beam slab are analysed.
