Summary

Large deflection analysis of a cantilever beam under a tip concentrated rotational load governed by a second order non-linear differential equation is solved using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration scheme. Initially the two point boundary value problem is converted to an initial value problem by estimating one of the two required initial conditions in an iterative process, so as to satisfy the other boundary condition. The details of load deflection curves are presented.
