Sheinman, Izhak On the analytical closed-form solution of high-order kinematic models in laminated beam theory. (English) Zbl 0981.74032 Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng. 50, No. 4, 919-936 (2001). Summary: Analytical closed-form solutions of arbitrary composite laminates are derived for different high-order kinematic models violating the Euler-Bernoulli classical beam assumptions. The solutions are obtained with the aid of mathematical symbolic compiler MAPLE and are applied to exact stiffness matrices and to exact equivalent end actions. A study of feasibility of the procedure, in terms of accuracy requirements and computation volume, is also carried out.
