Reduced integration and the shear-flexible beam element

TL;DR: In this paper, a penalty type argument is used to degenerate thick elements to thin elements, and various approximations of the shear related energy terms act as different types of constraints.

Galerkin finite element method for non-linear beam vibrations

TL;DR: In this article, a Galerkin finite element method is presented for studying non-linear vibrations of beams describable in terms of moderately large bending theory, and the exact mode shape and the frequency corresponding to the reference amplitude of vibration are determined by solving iteratively a series of eigenvalue problems until the required convergence is obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active vibration control of composite sandwich beams with piezoelectric extension-bending and shear actuators

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element formulation capable of modeling two different kinds of piezoelastically induced actuation in an adaptive composite sandwich beam is derived to couple certain piezoelectric constants to a transverse electric field to develop extension-bending actuation and shear-induced actuation.
