Abstract
In this paper we present numerical solutions to a geometrically nonlinear version of the extensible Timoshenko beam model under distributed load. The particular cases in which: i) extensional stiffness is infinite (inextensible Timoshenko model), ii) shear stiffness is infinite (extensible Euler model) and iii) extensional and shear stiffnesses are infinite (inextensible Euler model) will be numerically explored. Parametric studies on the axial stiffness in both the Euler and Timoshenko cases will also be shown and discussed.
