Abstract

The paper discusses some flaws in Mutyalarao et al.'s (2010) paper [1] on large deflection of cantilever beams subject to tip-concentrated rotational load. It is shown that the authors fail to correctly determine the domain of the tip angle and consequently they obtain some incorrect solutions.

► Flaws in determination of beam tip angle for rotational load problem are discussed. ► Correct domains of beam tip angle are given. ► Examples of equilibrium configurations for negative tip angles are given.
