[ 1 ] - Large Deflection Analysis of Compliant Beams of Variable Thickness and Non-Homogenous Material under Combined Load and Multiple Boundary Conditions

This paper studies a new approach to analyze the large deflection behavior of prismatic and non-prismatic beams of non-homogenous material under combined load and multiple boundary conditions. The mathematical formulation has been derived which led to a set of six first-order ordinary differential equations. The geometric nonlinearity was solved numerically using the multiple shooting method co...
