Abstract
This paper presents a shear deformable beam model for the nonlinear stability analysis of composite beam-type structures. Each wall of the cross-section is stacked in the cross-ply scheme. The incremental equilibrium equations are derived in the framework of an updated Lagrangian formulation. Hooke’s law is assumed to be valid. The nonlinear displacement field of the composite cross-section accounts for the restrained warping and the large rotation effects. The shear deformation effects are included through Timoshenko’s bending theory and modified Vlasov’s torsion theory. Additional shear correction factors due to the bending-torsion coupling occurring at asymmetric cross-sections are introduced in the analysis. The accuracy and reliability of proposed numerical mode are verified on benchmark examples, and the obtained results confirm that it can be classified as a shear locking-free model.
