On Lateral Buckling of End-Loaded Cantilever Beams.
Abstract
The classical problem of lateral buckling of cantilever beams with transverse end-load is re-examined, as an example of a problem fully governed by the intrinsic equations of Kirchhoff's curved beam theory. It is shown that a suitable non-dimensionalization of the differential equations of the problem leads to a straightforward perturbation solution, with leading and second-order terms of the expansion having well-defined differences in physical significance. The equations of a recent extension of Kirchhoff's theory, which take account of transverse shear deformation, are used for the purpose of obtaining a numerical result for the influence of shear deformability on the lateral buckling load.
