Non-uniform warping including the effects of torsion and shear forces. II: Analytical and numerical applications (Q2385231)

The paper, the second one of the two-part contribution, applies the non-uniform warping beam theory to analyze torsion and shear-bending of cantilever beams with different cross-sections, solid cross-sections and thin-walled open or closed cross-sections, bi-symmetric or not. The results yielded by the non-uniform warping beam theory and its simplified version are compared for the one-dimensional behavior. Axial and shear stresses deduced from the non-uniform warping beam theory and computed by three-dimensional finite element method. The general characters of the proposed beam theory and its ability to describe the warping effects are demonstrated in the contrast with classical beam theories.
