A twenty DOF element for nonlinear analysis of unsymmetrically laminated beams

The purpose of this study was to develop a simple one- dimensional finite element for the nonlinear analysis of symmetrically and unsymmetrically laminated composite beams including shear deformation. There is a need for a simple and efficient method for analyzing unsymmetrically laminated beams sin...
