In order to obtain the general solution for any beam by finite element method, to eliminate the defects of finite element about the beam used in the past, and also to apply the various type of beam, a general beam finite element is developed.
The general form of matrix governing equation in domain is derived on this base by minimizing the total energy. It will be of great advantage to applicability under any type of beam, and also to decreasing computing time.
