Abstract

This paper presents a multilayered two node planar beam element, straight or shallow, of Bernoulli type, with an arbitrary number of layers with interlayer slip. Material and geometric nonlinearities are included. Small strains and slips are assumed. Large displacements are dealt with von Karman strain coupled with corotational formulation. No locking appears. Various tests show the capabilities of this element.
