Abstract: |
The determination of the sectional properties of cross-section depends upon the solution of a two-dimensional boundary value problem.By making use of warping function,the torsion and flexure problems are formulated,a finite element procedure of two-dimensional torsion and flexure problem is developed for arbitrary cross-section by using the theorem of minimum potential energy.The cross-section is discretized with six-node and eight-node isotropic plane element to evaluate the torsional coefficient,shear center and the shear area correction coefficients of any beam with irregular cross-section.The sectional area and inertial moment are also calculated with the numerical integration,a finite element program is developed with this method,Two numerical examples are given,the result of a rectangular cross-section and the result of cross-section of box beam of SongAo bridge are compared with theoretical solution and the result with Ansys respectively to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method. |
