Micro Abstract:
Beam elements demonstrate an efficient way of modeling large, thin structures if the assumed kinematics are reasonable. Regarding arbitrarily shaped cross-sections and varying material properties, difficulties arise in describing their behavior. A homogenization approach for a simple Timoshenko beam using a representative volume element circumvents this problem. In addition to that cross-sectional deformations can be taken into account.
