In this work, we are interested in tree-shaped networks of freely vibrating beams which are geometrically exact (GEB) - in the sense that large motions (deflections, rotations) are accounted for in addition to shearing - and linked by rigid joints. For the intrinsic GEB formulation, namely that in terms of velocities and internal forces/moments, we derive transmission conditions and show that the network is locally in time well-posed in the classical sense. Applying velocity feedback controls at the external nodes of a star-shaped network, we show by means of a quadratic Lyapunov functional and the theory developed by Bastin & Coron in [2] that the zero steady state of this network is exponentially stable for the H-1 and H-2 norms. The major obstacles to overcome in the intrinsic formulation of the GEB network, are that the governing equations are semilinar, containing a quadratic nonlinearity, and that linear lower order terms cannot be neglected.
