Extract

Consider a cantilever beam of uniform cross section whose generators are parallel to the z-axis and whose lateral surface is free from surface tractions. The line of centroids of the cross sections in the unstrained state is taken as the z-axis, and the x- and y-axes are the principal axes of the cross section at the centroid of the fixed end z = 0.

The other end of the beam (z = l) is subject to forces which reduce to a single force with components (Wx, Wv , 0), transverse to the z-axis, acting through the load point L of this end section (see Fig. 1). The co-ordinates of L are taken as (p, q, l).
