✦ Synopsis

Large deflections of simply supported beams have been studied when the transverse loading consists of a uniformly distributed load plus a centrally concentrated load under the two cases, (1) the reactions are vertical, (2) the reactions are normal to the bent beam together with frictional forces.

The solutions are obtained by the use of power series expansions. This method is applicable to all cases of symmetrical loading in beams.
