Exact Static Analysis of In-Plane Curved Timoshenko Beams with Strong Nonlinear Boundary Conditions

Analytical solutions have been developed for nonlinear boundary problems. In this paper, the shifting function method is applied to develop the static deflection of in-plane curved Timoshenko beams with nonlinear boundary conditions. Three coupled governing differential equations are derived via the...
