- In structural engineering beams with non-constant cross-section or beams of variable cross-section are represents a class of slender bodies, object of the practitioners interest due to the possibility of optimizing their geometry with respect to specific needs. Despite the advantages that engineers can obtain from their use, non-trivial difficulties occurring in the non-prismatic beam modeling often lead to inaccurate predictions that vanish the gain of the optimization process. As a consequence, an effective non-prismatic beam modeling still represents a branch of the structural engineering of interest for the community, expecially for advanced design applications in large spans elements.
