Improving the Convergence Rate of a Timoshenko Beam Element under Dynamic Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The deflection and natural frequency of a 3 – Dimensional Timoshenko Beam (TB) is analyzed using Finite Element (FE) method. Significant improvement in computational time can be obtained when new shape functions are used. The results obtained from existing software packages and the new FE model are compared and good improvement is observed.
