Tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrices ?

In summary, the conversation discusses the search for information on 3D frame elements with 6DOF per node, specifically looking for stiffness and mass matrices for tapered, curved, and arched beams. The suggestion of using "curved" instead of "arched" in the search yields relevant results, such as a thesis on the formulation of tapered curved beam elements.

Hi all,

Actually I'm supposed to run and find results in google search. But that doesn't give any useful information, retrieves some nomenclatures which deals with estimation of technique or deriving the stiffnesss mass matrices for 2D frame element. But I'm looking for 3D frame element with 6DOF per node.

The title may seem a bit confusing, I'm looking the stiff and mass matrices for tapered beam, arched-tapered beam and arched beams.

Does anybody can give any entry-point on that ?

Regards,

Related to Tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrices ?

1. What is a tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrix?

A tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrix is a mathematical representation of the stiffness and mass properties of a tapered, arched beam structure. It is used in structural analysis and design to model the behavior of these types of beams under various loading conditions.

2. How is a tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrix calculated?

A tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrix is calculated by taking into account the geometry, material properties, and boundary conditions of the beam. It involves solving a system of equations derived from the beam's equations of motion and boundary conditions to determine the stiffness and mass values for each element of the beam.

3. What are the applications of tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrices?

Tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrices have a wide range of applications in structural engineering, including the design and analysis of bridges, arches, and other curved structures. They are also used in the aerospace industry for modeling the behavior of aircraft wings and other curved components.

4. What are the advantages of using a tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrix?

One of the main advantages of using a tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrix is that it allows for a more accurate analysis of curved structures compared to traditional beam models. It also provides a more efficient and streamlined approach to analyzing complex structural systems.

5. Are there any limitations to using tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrices?

While tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrices are a useful tool in structural analysis, they do have some limitations. These matrices are based on certain assumptions and simplifications, so they may not accurately model all types of curved structures. Additionally, they can be computationally expensive and require advanced software and expertise to use effectively.
