Abstract (EN):
The analysis of three dimensional frames is quite similar to the analysis of 2D frames. In the 2-node 3D frame finite element we now consider in each node three displacements and three rotations with respect to the three global cartesian axes. However, the complexity in such structures is due to the orientation of the beam in space other than in 2D plane. Before introducing the stiffness and mass matrices in the global reference system rotation matrices for vectors in 3D space are firstly introduced. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
