Description
Summary:Abstract For arbitrary two-point boundary condition, which makes the corresponding linear uniform problem well-posed, we obtain an existence and uniqueness result for the boundary value problem of finite beam deflection resting on arbitrary nonlinear non-uniform elastic foundation. The difference between the desired solution and the corresponding linear uniform one in L ∞ $L^{\infty}$ sense is bounded explicitly in terms of given inputs of the problem. Our results seamlessly unify linear uniform and nonlinear non-uniform problems and lead to an iteration algorithm for uniformly approximating the desired deflection.
