The paper deals with two main advantages in the analysis of slender elastic structures both
achieved through the mixed (stress and displacement) format with respect to the more …

This paper compares two distinct approaches for obtaining the cross-section deformation
modes of thin-walled members with deformable cross-section, namely the method of …

This paper presents a numerically efficient tool for linear buckling predictions of perforated
thin-walled bars within the framework of generalized beam theory (GBT). GBT-based beam …

This two-part work describes the development of a comprehensive and reliable tool for
analysis of the most commonly used geometries of thin-walled, open-section composite …

A geometrically nonlinear Generalized Beam Theory is formulated and the results in the
framework of buckling analyses are discussed. The geometrically nonlinear model is …

This paper presents the generalisation of an energy-based method for the modal
decomposition of buckled shapes of thin-walled members. This comprehensive method is …

The paper presents a numerical study of defect-free single-wall carbon, boron nitride and
silicon carbide armchair and zigzag nanotubes, through a simple stick-and-spring model …

In this paper a procedure for constructing a 1D continuum equivalent to a Koiter plate, is
presented. The result is used to build-up a coarse model of a Thin Walled Beam. The model …

A new systematic approach is presented to derive the cross-section deformation modes of
thin-walled beams with arbitrary sections within the framework of a higher-order beam …

In this work, the post-buckling analysis of thin-walled beams by using the Generalized Beam
Theory (GBT) is presented. To this purpose, a geometrically nonlinear GBT finite element is …
