Contents
Continuum mechanical background, standard and modern finite element formulations.
Beam theory:
shear locking, consistency of stress resultants, kinematic compatibility, energy preservation.
Flexible multibody systems:
model order reduction and floating frame of reference approach, methods for geometrically nonlinear beams.
Finite rotations and their parametrisations (SO(3), SE(3), (dual) quaternions, Euler angles).
