Abstract:
We succeed in constructing exact parametric analytic solutions for the non-linear ordinary differential equations governing the elastica response of a cantilever due to a generalized end loading by taking into account the effects of transverse deformation. Application to the case of the eccentric buckling of a cantilever by taking into account the above influences is developed.
