16 Conclusions 1 Node-dependent kinematics provide a solution to integrate the accuracy of the LW models and the low computational cost of the ESL models to obtain optimal beam models; 2 Hierarchical Legendre Expansions are extended to one-dimensional node-dependent kinematic finite elements; 3 Based on CUF, the proposed models are compact in form without using any ad hoc coupling; 4 The proposed models are computationally efficient in the analysis of multi-layered slender structures; 5 The presented approach allows the local kinematic refinement be carried out without modifying the FEM mesh.
