Rotational Constraint between Beams in 3-D Space

<p>In this paper, we develop two alternative formulations for the rotational constraint between the tangents to connected beams with large deformations in 3-D space. Such a formulation is useful for modeling bonded/welded connections between beams. The first formulation is derived by consis...
