title = "Transport matrix based dynamic stiffness matrix of a circular helicoidal bar",
abstract = "This paper outlines the formulation used to numerically construct the dynamic structural stiffness matrix for a circular helicoidal beam starting from the solution of the governing differential equations using the transport matrix method. The basic features of a Fortran computer code that has been developed to construct the stiffness matrix of the 3D beam are outlined. The paper also emphasizes the benefits that would ensue from utilizing the source code within a general purpose finite element method code in lieu of utilizing other forms of general 3D but less specialized isoparametric finite elements.",
