TLDR
In this article, the basic principles of Generalized Beam Theory were introduced and used to analyse cold-formed sections in which distortion of the cross-section is significant, and the calculation procedure was illustrated by a detailed numerical example.About:

Second-order generalised beam theory for arbitrary orthotropic materials
Nuno Silvestre,Dinar Camotim +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural behavior of composite thin-walled members made of laminated plates and displaying arbitrary orthotropy was analyzed and the main concepts and procedures involved in the available isotropic first-order generalized beam theory were revisited and adapted/modified to account for the specific aspects related to the member orthots.

A new approach to the calculation of cross-section deformation modes in the framework of generalized beam theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a general approach for the calculation of cross-section deformation modes in thin-walled beams, to be used in the framework of generalized beam theory (GBT), is presented.

A full modal decomposition of thin-walled, single-branched open cross-section members via the constrained finite strip method
Sándor Ádány,Benjamin W. Schafer +1 more
TL;DR: The constrained finite strip method (cFSM) as discussed by the authors decomposes the elastic stability solution of a thin-walled single-branched open cross-section member into mechanically consistent buckling classes associated with global, local, distortional, and shear and transverse extension buckling modes.

Recent research advances in cold-formed steel structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of cold-formed sections in building construction has been outlined and a more detailed consideration of the related design procedures is presented, where the latest trend is to move from simplified design models to design procedures based on "whole section" analysis.

Buckling mode decomposition of single-branched open cross-section members via finite strip method : Derivation
Sándor Ádány,Benjamin W. Schafer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental mechanical assumptions of the generalized beam theory are identified and then used to constrain a general purpose finite strip analysis to specific buckling types, in this case global and distortional buckling.
