Large deflection of a curved elastic cantilever under transverse end load

Test Description

A curved cantilever beam of radius R = 100 is constrained in all directions at left end and a conservative transverse load of P_max = 3000 is applied at the right end. Large deflection analysis is performed.

Geometic Properties

Material Properties

R = 100

θ = 45°

Boundary Conditions

Applied at built-in end:

U_y = 0

U_x = 0

U_z = 0

E = 1.0 x 10⁷

G = 0.5 x 10⁷

Applied at unbounded end:

P_max = 3000
