The calculation of the three-dimensional irregular - shaped composite beams using the double-grid finite elements

The procedure of constructing the two-grid finite elements (TgFE) in order to calculate the threedimensional elastic composite beams having the constant cross section of the complex shape is presented in the article. The proposed TgFE describe the three-dimensional tense state in the composite beams, take into account their heterogeneous structure and complex form, generate discrete models of low dimension. Implementation of the finite element method for two-grid discrete models of the three-dimensional composite beams requires less computer memory and time costs than for the base models.
