  • To obtain the analytical solution formula of the stiffness matrix of a 2-node 6-degree-of-freedom explicit variable cross-section curved beam element, the variable cross-section curved beam element was incorporated into the widely used finite element system of rod structures. Based on Castigliano’s second theorem, the stiffness matrix of the spatial variable cross-section curved beam element was derived, and the flexibility matrix of the variable cross-section curved beam element was deduced by using the principle of stationary potential energy of elastic bodies; then, the cantilever end stiffness matrix of the variable cross-section curved beam element was obtained through inverse calculation. According to the static equilibrium condition and the principle of virtual work, the element stiffness matrix of the overall variable cross-section curved beam was obtained. In addition, the finite element formulation of the variable cross-section curved beam element could be degenerated into the formulation of uniform cross-section and uniform curvature beam elements and the standard formulation of uniform cross-section straight beam elements. A static calculation program for variable cross-section curved beam bridges was developed using MATLAB, and it was compared with the ANSYS solid finite element model to verify the static analysis theory of variable cross-section curved beams. The results indicate that the developed theory analyzes the bending-torsion coupling of the variable cross-section curved beam based on the finite element theory. The maximum deflection error between the variable cross-section curved beam theory and the ANSYS solid finite element model is 3.72%, and the maximum error compared with the ANSYS beam element model is less than 0.5%; furthermore, the maximum deflection error between the variable cross-section straight beam degenerated from the developed theory and the ANSYS solid finite element beam model is 1.72%, and the maximum error compared with the ANSYS beam element model is less than 0.1%.
