chrono::fea::ChBeamSectionEulerAdvancedGeneric Class Reference

Description

General purpose section of an Euler-Bernoulli beam in 3D, not assuming homogeneous density or homogeneous elasticity, given basic material properties.

This is the case where one uses a FEA preprocessor to compute the rigidity of a complex beam made with multi-layered reinforcements with different elasticity and different density - in such a case you could not use ChBeamSectionEulerAdvanced because you do not have a single E or single density, but you rather have collective values of bending rigidities, and collective mass per unit length. This class allows using these values directly, bypassing any knowledge of area, density, Izz Iyy, E young modulus, etc. To be used with ChElementBeamEuler. The center of mass of the section can have an offset respect to the centerline. This material can be shared between multiple beams.
