Notes:
We discuss both linear and geometrically non-linear finite element analysis of elastic beams, taking into account the shear deformation. In linear analysis, a novel shallow beam element formulaton is consistently derived, and the end result is more suitable for the finite element implementation than earlier attempts. The element is very resourceful for an explanation of membrane and shear locking phenomena and exploration of their possible remedies. In addition, it sheds some light on locking phenomena in non-linear analysis. In non-linear analysis, we discuss the finite element implementation of the finite strain beam theory of Reissner.
