The tapered cross-section beams made of steel-concrete composite material are widely used in engineering constructions and their dynamic behavior is strongly influenced by the type of shear connection jointing the two different materials. The 1D high order finite element model for tapered cross-section steel-concrete composite material beam with interlayer slip was established in this paper. The Numerical results for vibration nature frequencies of the composite beams with two typical boundary conditions were compared with ANSYS using 2D plane stress element. The 1D element is more efficient and economical for the common tapered cross-section steel-concrete composite material beams in engineering.

The free vibration analysis of thin- and thick-walled layered structures via a refined one-dimensional (1D) approach is addressed in this paper. Carrera unified formulation (CUF) is employed to introduce higher-order 1D models with a variable order of expansion for the displacement unknowns over the cross section. Classical Euler–Bernoulli (EBBM) and Timoshenko (TBM) beam theories are obtained as particular cases. Different kinds of vibrational modes with increasing half-wave numbers are investigated for short and relatively short cylindrical shells with different cross section geometries and laminations. Numerical results of natural frequencies and modal shapes are provided by using the finite element method (FEM), which permits various boundary conditions to be handled with ease. The analyses highlight that the refinement of the displacement field by means of higher-order terms is fundamental especially to capture vibrational modes that require warping and in-plane deformation to be detected. Classical beam models are not able to predict the realistic dynamic behavior of shells. Comparisons with three-dimensional elasticity solutions and solid finite element solutions prove that CUF provides accuracy in the free vibration analysis of even short, nonhomogeneous thin- and thick-walled shell structures, despite its 1D approach. The results clearly show that bending, radial, axial, and also shell lobe-type modes can be accurately evaluated by variable kinematic 1D CUF models with a remarkably lower computational effort compared to solid FE models.
