A Spatial Euler-Bernoulli Beam Element for Rigid-Flexible Coupling Dynamic Analysis of Flexible Structures by Zhigang Zhang, Zhaohui Qi, Zhigang Wu, Huiqing Fang

“…In addition, the “shear locking” problem is avoided successfully since the beam cross-sections are always perpendicular to the current neutral axes by employing a special coupled interpolation of the centroid position and the cross-section orientation. Then a scheme is presented where the original transient strains representing the nodal forces are replaced by proposed average strains over a small time interval. …”
