Out-of-Plane Deflections of Nonprismatic Curved Beam Structures Solved by the Differential Quadrature Element Method
Keyword(s):
The differential quadrature element method (DQEM) is used to solve the out-of-plane deflections of nonprismatic curved beam structures. The extended differential quadrature (EDQ) is used to discretize the governing differential equations defined on all elements, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions. Numerical results obtained by DQEM are presented. They demonstrate the developed numerical solution procedure.
