Static bending of a twisted Timoshenko beam subjected to combined transverse and axial loadings is studied. The equilibrium equations are established in the twist coordinates by applying the principle of minimum potential energy. The governing equations are then reduced into solvable algebraic equations using a finite element approach. The effects of the twist angle, thickness-to-width ratio, length-to-thickness ratio, loading and boundary conditions on the static bending characteristics of the twisted beams are investigated. The present parametric analyses will provide engineers a good insight into the influence of various structural aspects of the twisted beam on its response to different static loads.
