Synopsis

Considered is a nonlinear model which describes the dynamic behaviour of the not necessarily small longitudinal and transverse displacements of a thin, cantilevered beam. The motion of the beam is driven by a bending moment, an axial force and a vertical shear force that act at the free end of the beam. The main goal is to describe the reachable set of the system, that is, the set of all states that can be reached by varying the end forces within a certain set of admissible controls.
