A simple method for determining large deflection states of arbitrarily curved planar elastica

The paper discusses a relatively simple method for determining large deflection states of arbitrarily curved planar elastica, which is modeled by a finite set of initially straight flexible segments. The basic equations are built using Euler-Bernoulli and large displacement theory. The problem is so...
