This book presents the bending theory of hyperelastic beams in the
context of finite elasticity. The main difficulties in addressing
this issue are due to its fully nonlinear framework, which makes no
assumptions regarding the size of the deformation and displacement
fields. Despite the complexity of its mathematical formulation, the
inflexion problem of nonlinear beams is frequently used in
practice, and has numerous applications in the industrial,
mechanical and civil sectors. Adopting a semi-inverse approach, the
book formulates a three-dimensional kinematic model in which the
longitudinal bending is accompanied by the transversal deformation
of cross-sections. The results provided by the theoretical model
are subsequently compared with those of numerical and experimental
analyses. The numerical analysis is based on the finite element
method (FEM), whereas a test equipment prototype was designed and
fabricated for the experimental analysis. The experimental data was
acquired using digital image correlation (DIC) instrumentation.
These two further analyses serve to confirm the hypotheses
underlying the theoretical model. In the book's closing section,
the analysis is generalized to the case of variable bending moment.
The governing equations then take the form of a coupled system of
three equations in integral form, which can be applied to a very
wide class of equilibrium problems for nonlinear beams.
