Eigenanalysis and continuum modelling of pre-twisted repetitive beam-like structures

A repetitive pin-jointed, pre-twisted structure is analysed using a state variable transfer matrix technique. Within a global coordinate system the transfer matrix is periodic, but introduction of a local coordinate system rotating with nodal cross-sections results in an autonomous transfer matrix f...
