Abstract: Naturally curved and twisted closed thin-walled slender beams of composite material undergoing small strains, large displacements and rotations have been investigated, and an incomplete generalized variational function on theory of elasticity with finite displacement is established for these beams with complete constrained boundaries at two ends. The balance equations as well as all boundary conditions concerned have been deduced from functional stationary value condition. The above-mentioned method can also be extended to other various incomplete constrained boundaries conveniently. In addition, the fundamental equations and concerned formulas in the small displacement theory of the beams can be derived by using above results.
