Abstract
This article presents the application of DKMQ24 shell element for twist of thin-walled beams. This element passed the patch tests for membrane, bending and shear problems and gave fine results for plate and shell problems analysis without shear locking. Thin-walled cantilever beams are analyzed using this element. DKMQ24 gives good results for cantilever beams with open cross-section for a very few number of element. Moreover, the comparison of the results obtained with Vlassov analytical solution enables to evaluate the accuracy of the twist rigidity, Jd, which depends on an empirical coefficient in Vlassov theory.
