Abstract
Based on the traditional mechanical model of straight beam element, the paper makes a systematic analysis and research on the pre-twisted beam finite element numerical model. Firstly, the paper proposed the pre-twisted Euler beam element mode, the mode uses 2 node and 12 freedom degrees, the element axial and torsion displacements use 2 nodes Lagrange interpolation function, bending displacement still use the cubic displacement. Secondly, the paper studies a new pre-twisted Timoshenko beam element mode, the proposed new Timoshenko beam element takes separate interpolation polynomial functions both flexure bending and rotation displacement. According to the relationship between bending moment and shear, the relationship between of bending displacement and angle displacement is derived, which is more accurate to consider the effects of shear deformation. Finally, by calculating the pre-twisted rectangle cantilever beam example, and contrasting three-dimensional solid finite element using ANSYS, the comparative analysis results show that pre-twisted Timoshenko beam element mode has good accuracy.
