Bending of a nonlinear orthotropic cantilever beam

The method of elastic solutions is employed to investigate the plane problem of the deformation of a cantilever beam of orthotropic glass-reinforced plastic under a concentrated load with allowance for the non-linear properties of the material. The first approximation of the stress function is given and the stress distribution over the cross section is calculated for a specific GRP.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 2, No. 5, pp. 773–778, 1966
