Large deflections of tapered cantilever beams made of axially functionally graded material

The nonlinear bending equation for a slender, tapered cantilever beam made of axially functionally graded material (FGM) with a transverse load applied at the tip, undergoing large deflections, is solved by the Runge-Kutta method. Solutions are obtained for round cross-sections, for varying degrees...
