Abstract
A consistent one-dimensional finite-element procedure for analysis of the coupled torsional-bending response of thin-walled beam structures such as ship hulls is presented. At each element end there are three translations, three rotations and one classical Vlasov warping degree of freedom plus possibly N degrees of freedom associated with higher order generalized warping deformation modes. These higher order warping modes are generated from an eigenvalue problem associated with the homogeneous plane stress equilibrium condition for the individual beam cross sections. The assembly of the beam elements to the global model is performed by use of transition matrices which assure compatibility between the elements in the sense of least squares. Numerical examples are included which demonstrate the accuracy of the mathematical model and the applicability of the proposed analysis procedure for calculation of torsion-horizontal bending response of a containership hull. Even if the higher order warping modes are not included in the finite element formulation it is found that the mathematical model is quite accurate for overall response analysis of hull structures.
