| Summary: | In this study, the geometrically nonlinear behaviour caused by large displacements and rotations in the cross sections of thin-walled composite beams subjected to axial loading is investigated. Newton–Raphson scheme and an arc length method are used in the solution of nonlinear equations by finite element method to determine the mechanical effect. The Carrera-Unified formulation (CUF) is used to solve nonlinear, low or high order kinematic refined structure theories for finite beam elements. In the study, displacement area and stress distributions of composite structures with different angles and functionally graded (FG) structures are presented for Lagrange polynomial expansions. The results show the accuracy and computational efficiency of the method used and give confidence for new research. |
