| Abstract | ||
| A new approach to the analysis of horizontally curved beams is presented in this paper. The proposed method simplifies a two-dimensional structure into a one-dimensional structure just like a normal beam for structural analysis and, therefore, reduces the computational effort significantly. | ||
| Key Words | ||
| curved beam; finite element; force method; stiffness method. | ||
