A recent large deflection cantilever model is considered. The principal nonlinear effects come through the beam's inextensibility---local arc length preservation---rather than traditional extensible effects attributed to fully restricted…

We consider a beam model representing the transverse deflections of a one dimensional elastic structure immersed in an axial fluid flow. The model includes a nonlinear elastic restoring force, with damping and non-conservative terms…

We consider a cantilevered (clamped-free) beam in an axial potential flow. Certain flow velocities may bring about a bounded-response instability in the structure, termed {\em flutter}. As a preliminary analysis, we employ the theory of…
