Summary

The method of parameter differentiation is applied to the solution of the non-linear, two-point, ordinary differential equations resulting from an analysis of the finite bending of a thin-walled tube. Starting from a given set of solutions of the differential equations for a particular value of the curvature parameter α, solutions for a range of values of α can be obtained by this method non-iteratively. Very close agreement was obtained with solutions using iterative numerical methods.
