Abstract
We formulate a linear elastic beam problem by employing Saint Venant’s principle so that end effects do not appear in the beam. Then the elasticity solution to the formulated interior problem is presented. By using mid-surface variables derived
from the solution, a nodally-exact beam element is formulated by a force-based approach. A finite element calculation example is presented. In addition to the beam element, elasticity-based circular and rectangular plate elements may be developed on the basis of similar approaches founded on 2D stress functions or 3D displacement potentials.
