Abstract
The conventional formulation for the stiffness matrix and load vector of prismatic beam elements is extended to the analysis of pre-twisted beams. It is shown that, as for the prismatic case, the exact stiffness matrix and load vector may be derived if the exact homogeneous solutions of the governing equations are used as the shape functions. The effectiveness of this element is demonstrated by an example.
