End support type used in the parametric investigation.
| | End support type | | | | | | |
| | Pinned-free | Pinned in-plane, free out-of-plane | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Pinned-pinned | Pinned in-plane, pinned out-of-plane | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | | Fixed-pinned | Fixed in-plane, pinned out-of-plane | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | | Fixed-fixed | Fixed in-plane, fixed out-of-plane | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| | Out-of-plane support | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
