# Overview
The beam section behavior:
• is defined in terms of the response of the beam section to stretching, bending, shear, and torsion;
• may or may not require numerical integration over the section; and
• can be linear or nonlinear (as a result of nonlinear material response).
# Beam section behavior
Defining a beam sections response to stretching, bending, shear, and torsion of the beams axis requires a suitable definition of the axial force, N; bending moments, $M _ { 1 1 }$ and $M _ { 2 2 } ;$ and torque, T, as functions of the axial strain, ; curvature changes, $\kappa _ { 1 1 }$ and $\kappa _ { 2 2 } ;$ and twist, . Here the subscripts 1 and 2 refer to local, orthogonal axes in the beam section.
If open-section beam types are used, the section behavior must also define the warping bimoment, W, and the generalized strain measures include the warping amplitude, w, and the bicurvature of the beam, , which is the gradient of the warping amplitude with respect to position along the beam: $\chi =$ dw/ds.
The type of section definition you choose determines whether the beam section properties are recomputed during the progression of the analysis or established in the preprocessor for the duration of the analysis. If a general beam section definition is used (see “Using a general beam section to define the section behavior,” Section 29.3.7), the cross-section properties are computed once, during preprocessing. Alternatively, a beam section definition that is integrated during the analysis can be used (see “Using a beam section integrated during the analysis to define the section behavior,” Section 29.3.6), in which case Abaqus will use numerical integration of the stress over the cross-section to define the beams response as the analysis proceeds.
Since planar beams deform only in the XY plane, only N and $M _ { 1 1 }$ , and and $\kappa _ { 1 1 }$ , contribute to the response in these elements: $\kappa _ { 2 2 } , \phi ,$ and w are assumed to be zero.
<!-- source-page: 312 -->
In Abaqus bending moments in beam sections are always measured about the centroid of the beam section, while torque is measured with respect to the shear center. The beam axis (defined as the line joining the nodes that define the beam element) need not pass through the centroid of the beam section.
The degrees of freedom of the beam element are at the origin of the local coordinate system defined in the cross-section of the beam; that is, the line of the element connecting the elements nodes passes through the origin of the cross-sections local coordinate system.
# Determining whether to use a beam section integrated during the analysis or a general beam section
When a beam section integrated during the analysis is used (see “Using a beam section integrated during the analysis to define the section behavior,” Section 29.3.6), Abaqus integrates numerically over the section as the beam deforms, evaluating the material behavior independently at each point on the section. This type of beam section should be used when the section nonlinearity is caused only by nonlinear material response.
When a general beam section is used (see “Using a general beam section to define the section behavior,” Section 29.3.7), Abaqus precomputes the beam cross-section quantities and performs all section computations during the analysis in terms of the precomputed values. This method combines the functions of beam section and material descriptions (a material definition is not needed). The precomputed section properties may be specified in a variety of ways, including quite complex geometries defined with a two-dimensional finite element mesh (see “Meshed beam cross-sections,” Section 10.6.1). A general beam section should be used when the beam section response is linear or when it is nonlinear and the nonlinearity arises from more than just material nonlinearity, such as in cases when section collapse occurs.

# Geometric section quantities
The section quantities described below are needed to define the behavior of a general beam section.
# Moments of inertia
The moments of inertia with respect to the centroid are defined as
<!-- source-page: 313 -->
$$
\begin{array}{l} I _ {1 1} = \int_ {A} (x _ {2} - x _ {2} ^ {c}) ^ {2} d A, \\ I _ {2 2} = \int_ {A} \left(x _ {1} - x _ {1} ^ {c}\right) ^ {2} d A, \text { and } \\ I _ {1 2} = \int_ {A} (x _ {1} - x _ {1} ^ {c}) (x _ {2} - x _ {2} ^ {c}) d A, \\ \end{array}
$$
where $( x _ { 1 } , x _ { 2 } )$ is the position of the point in the local beam section axis system and $( x _ { 1 } ^ { c } , x _ { 2 } ^ { c } )$ is the position of the centroid of the cross-sectional area.
Bending stiffness and rotary inertia contributions for a meshed section profile (see “Meshed crosssections” in “Choosing a beam cross-section,” Section 29.3.2) are calculated using the two-dimensional cross-section model. The following integrated properties are defined for the entire cross-section model meshed with warping elements:
$$
\begin{array}{l} (E I) _ {1 1} = \int_ {A} E (x _ {2} - x _ {2} ^ {c}) ^ {2} d A, \\ (E I) _ {2 2} = \int_ {A} E (x _ {1} - x _ {1} ^ {c}) ^ {2} d A, \\ (E I) _ {1 2} = \int_ {A} E (x _ {1} - x _ {1} ^ {c}) (x _ {2} - x _ {2} ^ {c}) d A, \\ (\rho I) _ {1 1} = \int_ {A} \rho (x _ {2} - x _ {2} ^ {m}) ^ {2} d A, \\ (\rho I) _ {2 2} = \int_ {A} \rho (x _ {1} - x _ {1} ^ {m}) ^ {2} d A, \text { and } \\ (\rho I) _ {1 2} = \int_ {A} \rho (x _ {1} - x _ {1} ^ {m}) (x _ {2} - x _ {2} ^ {m}) d A, \\ \end{array}
$$
where $( x _ { 1 } ^ { m } , x _ { 2 } ^ { m } )$ is the center of mass of the cross section.
# Torsional constant
The torsional constant, J, depends on the shape of the cross section. The torsional constant of a circular section is the polar moment of inertia, $J = I _ { 1 1 } + I _ { 2 2 }$ .
The torsional constant for the rectangular and trapezoidal library sections is calculated numerically by Abaqus using the Prandtl stress function approach. A local finite element model of the cross-section is created internally for this purpose. The number of integration points selected for the cross-section determines the accuracy of this finite element model. For increased accuracy specify a higher-order rule by selecting nondefault integration.
The above rule is also applied to both the thin-walled box section and the arbitrary section to increase the accuracy of the model. If the thickness for each segment making up the section varies significantly, more integration points for the box section or smaller segments for the arbitrary section should be specified in the area where the thickness varies.
<!-- source-page: 314 -->
The torsional stiffness for a meshed section is calculated over the two-dimensional region meshed with warping elements. The accuracy of the integration depends on the number of elements in the model:
$$
(G J) = \int_ {A} G _ {\alpha \beta} (\psi_ {, \alpha} + \epsilon_ {\gamma} ^ {\alpha} (x ^ {\gamma} - x _ {s} ^ {\gamma})) (\psi_ {, \beta} + \epsilon_ {\delta} ^ {\beta} (x ^ {\delta} - x _ {s} ^ {\delta})) d A,
$$
where $\psi _ { , \alpha }$ denotes the derivative of the warping function with respect to the cross-section (1, 2) axis and $x _ { \alpha } ^ { s }$ is the position of the shear center of the cross-sectional area. All indices take values 1, 2. For more details, see “Meshed beam cross-sections,” Section 3.5.6 of the Abaqus Theory Guide.
For closed thin-walled sections the torsional constant is calculated from
$$
J = \frac {4 A _ {c} ^ {2}}{\oint 1 / t d s},
$$
where t is the thickness of the section, $A _ { c }$ is the area enclosed by the median line of the section, and s is the length of the median line, measured along the circumference of the section in a counterclockwise direction.
For open, built-up, thin-walled sections,
$$
J = \int \frac {1}{3} t ^ {3} d s.
$$
Abaqus will check if a built-up section is closed or not and will use the appropriate torsional constant.
# Sectorial moment and warping constant
For open, thin-walled sections the sectorial moment is defined as
$$
\Gamma_ {0} = \int_ {s} S _ {w} t d s
$$
and the warping constant is defined as
$$
\Gamma_ {W} = \int_ {s} S _ {w} ^ {2} t d s,
$$
where $S _ { w }$ is the sectorial area at a point in the section with the shear center as its pole.
# Rotary inertia for Timoshenko beams
In general, the rotary inertia associated with torsional modes is different from that of flexural modes. For unsymmetric cross-sections the rotary inertia is different in each direction of bending. For cross-sections where the beam node is not located at the center of mass, coupling exists between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom.
By default, the exact (anisotropic and coupled) rotary inertia is used for Timoshenko beams. In Abaqus/Standard the anisotropic rotary inertia introduces unsymmetric terms in the Jacobian operator during geometrically nonlinear, transient, direct-integration dynamic simulations. If the rotary inertia
<!-- source-page: 315 -->
effects are significant in the geometrically nonlinear dynamic response and the exact rotary inertia is used, the unsymmetric solver should be used for better convergence.
Optionally, an approximate isotropic and uncoupled rotary inertia can be selected. In Abaqus/Standard this means that the rotary inertia associated with the torsional mode only is used for all rotational degrees of freedom; potentially destabilizing rotary inertia effects in impact problems due to the anisotropy or displacement-rotation coupling will not be introduced. In Abaqus/Explicit this means a scaled flexural inertia with a scaling factor chosen to maximize the stable element time increment is used for all rotational degrees of freedom; i.e., the stable time increment will not be determined by the flexural response of the beam. In some slender beam analyses an isotropic approximation to the rotary inertia may be accurate enough.
If beam elements are used to model plate-type structures in Abaqus/Explicit (i.e., if the moment of inertia about one section axis of the beam is more than a thousand times greater than the moment of inertia about the other axis), the exact rotary inertia formulation may lead to a sharp cut-back in the stable time increment. In this case it is recommended that you either use the isotropic approximation or alternatively consider modeling the structure with shell elements, which might be better suited to this type of analysis.
For a definition of rotary inertia for the beams cross-section, see “Mass and inertia for Timoshenko beams,” Section 3.5.5 of the Abaqus Theory Guide.

# Adding inertia to the beam section behavior for Timoshenko beams
Additional mass and rotary inertia properties for Timoshenko beams (including PIPE elements) can be defined. This added inertia defined within the cross-section per unit length along the beam contributes to the inertia response of the beam without contributing to the structural stiffness. Additional beam inertia cannot be defined for a section if isotropic rotary inertia is used.
To specify additional beam inertia, you define the mass (per unit length) with the mass center positioned at point $( x _ { 1 } , x _ { 2 } )$ in the local (1, 2) beam cross-section axis system. To include rotary inertia (per unit length), you can also define the angle (in degrees) within the cross-section local (1, 2) system that positions the first axis of the rotary inertia coordinate system relative to the local 1-direction in the beam cross-section axis system. See Figure 29.3.51 for an illustration.

Figure 29.3.51 Beam element with added inertia.
The rotary inertia components relative to the rotary inertia coordinate system $( X , Y )$ are defined as
$$
\begin{array}{l} I _ {X X} ^ {\rho} = \int_ {A} \rho Y ^ {2} d A, \\ I _ {Y Y} ^ {\rho} = \int_ {A} \rho X ^ {2} d A, \text { and } \\ I _ {X Y} ^ {\rho} = - \int_ {A} \rho X Y d A, \\ \end{array}
$$
where A is the area, is the mass density, and X and Y are the local rotary inertia system coordinates measured from $( x _ { 1 } , x _ { 2 } )$ , the center of the added mass contribution.
As many point masses and rotary inertia contributions as are needed to define the added inertia can be specified. Mass proportional damping associated with the added inertia can be specified by assigning a value to the mass proportional Rayleigh damping coefficient, $\alpha _ { R } .$ , or the composite damping coefficient, $\xi _ { \alpha }$ . Abaqus will use the mass weighted average (based on the material damping and the added inertia damping) for the element mass proportional damping.
Input File Usage: Use the following option in conjunction with the beam section definition to specify additional inertia properties:
$* { \mathrm { B E A M ~ A D D E D ~ I N E R T I A } } , { \mathrm { A L P H A } } = \alpha _ { R } , { \mathrm { C O M P O S I T E } } = \xi _ { \alpha }$
$m a s s p e r u n i t l e n g t h , x _ { 1 } , x _ { 2 } , \alpha , I _ { 1 1 } , I _ { 2 2 } , I _ { 1 2 }$
Abaqus/CAE Usage: Additional inertia properties are not supported in Abaqus/CAE.
<!-- source-page: 317 -->
When a beam is fully or partially submerged, the effect of the surrounding fluid can be modeled as an additional distributed inertia on the beam (see “Loading due to an incident dilatational wave field,” Section 6.3.1 of the Abaqus Theory Guide). By default, the beam is assumed to be fully submerged. Alternatively, you can specify that the added inertia per unit length should be reduced by a factor of one-half to model a partially submerged beam.
You specify the fluid mass density, $\rho _ { f }$ (per unit volume); beam local x and y coordinates of the wetted cross-section centroid; wetted section effective radius, r; and empirical drag or flow coefficients, $C _ { A }$ and $C _ { A - E }$ . The inertia added per unit length to a fully immersed beam cross-section is given by
$$
\pi r ^ {2} \rho_ {f} C _ {A}.
$$
Because the beam cross-section origin may not be coincident with the centroid of the wetted cross-section, the additional fluid inertia may include rotary effects. Nonzero values for the x- and y-offsets of the wetted cross-section centroid will produce rotation-displacement coupling in the inertia formulation. The default model for the added inertia derives from inviscid flow around a cylindrical cross-section $( C _ { A } ~ = ~ 1 . 0 )$ ; you can specify a coefficient, $C _ { A }$ , that models flow around a different cross-section geometry.
An immersed beam also experiences an additional added mass effect at its free ends. If a beam elements end node is not attached to any other element and additional fluid inertia is defined for this element, an additional mass may be added in the form:
$$
\frac {8}{3} r ^ {3} \rho_ {f} C _ {A - E}.
$$
For $C _ { A - E } ~ = ~ 1 . 0$ this added mass corresponds to that of a hemispherical cap; the default value is $C _ { A - E } = 0 . 0$ . The coefficient $C _ { A - E }$ can be changed to model other geometries. If the beam is partially submerged, the end inertia is automatically reduced by one-half. However, the added mass at the free ends is always isotropic: axial and transverse motions experience the same additional inertia.
The “virtual mass” added to a submerged or partially submerged beam is not included in the total mass, center of mass, moments, or products of inertia reported in the data (.dat) file.

# Overview
A beam section integrated during the analysis:
• is used when section properties must be recomputed as the beam deforms over the course of the analysis; and
• can be associated with linear or nonlinear material behavior.
# Defining the behavior of a beam section integrated during the analysis
Use a beam section integrated during the analysis to define the section behavior when numerical integration over the section is required as the beam deforms. You can choose a section shape from the library of beam section shapes provided (see “Beam cross-section library,” Section 29.3.9) and define the sections dimensions. In addition, you can specify the number of section points to use for integration. The default number of section points is adequate for monotonic loading that causes plasticity. If reversed plasticity will occur, more section points are required.
Use a material definition (“Material data definition,” Section 21.1.2) to define the material properties of the section, and associate these properties with the section definition. Linear or nonlinear material behavior can be associated with the section definition. However, if the material response is linear, the more economic approach is to use a general beam section (see “Using a general beam section to define the section behavior,” Section 29.3.7).
You must associate the section properties with a region of your model.

# Defining a change in cross-sectional area due to straining
In the shear flexible elements Abaqus provides for a possible uniform cross-sectional area change by allowing you to specify an effective Poissons ratio for the section. This effect is considered only in geometrically nonlinear analysis (see “Defining an analysis,” Section 6.1.2) and is provided to model the reduction or increase in the cross-sectional area for a beam subjected to large axial stretch.
The value of the effective Poissons ratio must be between 1.0 and 0.5. By default, this effective Poissons ratio for the section is set to 0.0 so that this effect is ignored. Setting the effective Poissons ratio to 0.5 implies that the overall response of the section is incompressible. This behavior is appropriate if the beam is made of a typical metal whose overall response at large deformation is essentially incompressible (because it is dominated by plasticity). Values between 0.0 and 0.5 mean that the cross-sectional area changes proportionally between no change and incompressibility, respectively. A negative value of the effective Poissons ratio will result in an increase in the cross-sectional area in response to tensile axial strains.
This effective Poissons ratio is not available for use with Euler-Bernoulli beam elements.

# Defining material damping
When a beam section integrated during the analysis is used, damping can be introduced through the material behavior definition. See “Material damping,” Section 26.1.1, for more information about the material damping types available in Abaqus.
# Specifying temperature and field variables
Temperature and field variables can be specified at specific points through the section or by defining the value at the origin of the cross-section and specifying the gradients in the local 1- and 2-directions. The actual values of the temperature and field variables are specified as either predefined fields or initial conditions (see “Predefined fields,” Section 34.6.1, or “Initial conditions in Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit,” Section 34.2.1).
In any element it is assumed that the temperature definitions at all the nodes of the element are compatible with the temperature definition method chosen for the element. For cases in which the temperature definition method changes from one element to the next, separate nodes must be used on the interface between elements with different temperature definition methods and MPCs must be applied to make the displacements and rotations the same at the nodes.
