Keywords:

  • multi-model beam theories, via Arlequin method - achieving effective design;
  • high computational costs - and refined beam theories;
  • multi-model approach - mediating between accuracy and computational costs;
  • “refined” and “coarse” models, duly coupled - accuracy and computational cost;
  • CUF multi-model approach based on Arlequin method - “variable kinematic” solution;
  • multi-model approaches - mono-theory and multi-theory approaches;
  • Arlequin method - in context of the unified formulation;
  • multi-model solutions, and corresponding mono-model - and 3D FEM solutions;
  • I-shaped cross-section geometry - loading and verification points;
  • stresses, via mono- and variable kinematic models
