Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, a finite element method of simulating complex section beam element with approximate stiffness element is presented. By establishing an approximate stiffness element, the basic mechanical properties of the element are equivalent to the original complex section beam element’s. The approximate stiffness element has several sub-section beam elements, which intersect with other beam elements in space. The problem that missing of intersection points among complex section beam and other beams, which is caused by using conventional beam element, is solved. The error between the approximate stiffness element and the original complex section beam element is analyzed by theoretical deduction, and the feasibility and accuracy of the approximate stiffness element method are verified by the physical test of a bus body.
