title = "Large deflections of nonlinear elastic and viscoelastic columns with follower loads: The elastica and viscoelastica problems part I: The nonlinear elastic column",
abstract = "Large deection analyses of nonhomogeneous nonlinear elastic or viscoelastic columns (elastica and viscoelastica) with initial curvature and with deection dependent cross sectional areas subjected to follower loads is formulated. Column end shortening due to both curvature and compressive loads is taken into account and the governing coupled nonlinear differential equations are solved by successive approximation methods (SAM) and numerically by a double Runge-Kutta iterative shooting approach. Various solution protocols are analyzed and evaluated. The effects of end shortening and follower load angle on elastic and viscoelastic columns are discussed.",
