A Seminalytical Approach to Large Deflections in Compliant Beams under Point Load
Table 1
Comparison of large deflection results in cantilever beams under free end point load using a linear model and the presented method, showing the absolute error and accuracy as compared to the well-established Richardson numerical solution (Richardson extrapolation) [24], as well as the number of polynomials, n, required for an accuracy of at least 99.00%.
