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.

Free vibration analysis of composite beams is carried out by using a finite element-based formal asymptotic expansion method. The formulation begins with three-dimensional equilibrium equations in which cross-sectional coordinates are scaled by the characteristic length of the beam. Microscopic 2D and macroscopic 1D equations obtained via the asymptotic expansion method are discretized by applying a conventional finite element method. Boundary conditions associated with macroscopic 1D equations are also considered in order to investigate the end effect. We then describe how to form and solve the eigenvalue problems derived from the asymptotic method beyond the classical approximation. The results obtained are compared to those of 3D FEM and those available in literature for composite beams with solid cross-section and thin-walled cross-section.

The flexural behavior of tapered cross-section steel-concrete composite material beams frequently used in structural engineering is strongly influenced by the type of shear connection between the steel beam and the concrete slab. The 1D high order finite element model for tapered cross-section steel-concrete composite material beams with interlayer slip were established in this paper. The Numerical results for deflection and interlayer slip of the composite beam 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 flexural and dynamic behavior of tapered cross-section steel-concrete composite material beams frequently used in structural engineering is strongly influenced by the type of shear connection between the steel beam and the concrete slab. The numerical model must account for the partial interaction (interlayer slip) in order to get accurate analytical predictions. The 1D high order finite element model for variable cross-section steel-concrete composite beams with interlayer slip were established in this paper. The displacement field of kinematic model is obtained by introducing the constraint condition on interface between those two components based on classical Newmark model. The high order finite element with 16 degrees of freedom (DOF) is chosen to overcome the slip-locking problem in low order finite element which has been reported in published literatures so much. The established element can be used in flexural and dynamic analysis of tapered cross-section steel-concrete composite material beams directly.

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.

Vibration analysis of composite beams is carried out by using a finite element-based formal asymptotic expansion method. The formulation begins with three-dimensional (3D) equilibrium equations in which cross-sectional coordinates are scaled by the characteristic length of the beam. Microscopic two-dimensional and macroscopic one-dimensional (1D) equations obtained via the asymptotic expansion method are discretized by applying a conventional finite element method. Boundary conditions associated with macroscopic 1D equations are considered to investigate the end effect. It is then described how one could form and solve the eigenvalue problems derived from the asymptotic method beyond the classical approximation. The results obtained are compared with those of 3D finite element method and those available in the literature for composite beams with solid cross section and thin-walled cross section.
