Abstract:
      The displacement-based beam elements can not effectively describe the internal displacement field for variable cross-section beams.The only method to solve this problem is to use more elements,which will increase the computational cost.Force-based beam elements,which use the force interpolation functions and can get the accurate displacement interpolation functions,have advantages of dealing with the variable cross-section beams and have higher accuracy than the displacement-based beam elements.This paper derives the consistent mass matrices considering moment of inertia and shear deformation.The accuracy and efficiency of the mass matrices is verified by numerical examples.
