Abstract

Based on MATLAB platform, program VCBEP (Variable Cross-section Beam Element based on Positional FEM) is compiled, and the cantilever beam with linear profile and the parabolic simple supported beam are calculated. The variable cross-section beam element is proposed to analyze rectangular beam whose beam depth changes in a linear or quadratic parabolic way and beam width is fixed and the exact solution can be obtained.
