A theoretical and experimental study on geometric nonlinearity of initially curved cantilever beams

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on large deflection behavior of initially curved cantilever beams subjected to various types of loadings. The physical system as a straight cantilever beam subjected to a tip concentrated load is considered in this study. Nonlinear differentia...
