Nonlinear Beam Theory

Nonlinear Beam Theory is a theoretical framework in structural mechanics that extends classical beam theory by accounting for large deformations and material nonlinearities, thereby enabling the accurate modeling of beams under finite displacements and rotations where linear strain-displacement relationships no longer hold.
