Elastic and plastic bending of the beams by finite difference method (FDM)

The Euler-Bernoulli beam model has a wide range of applications to the real life; such as nano electro mechanical system switches in small scale up to the Eifel tower in large scale. Advantages of FDM like simpler mathematical concept and easier programming have made scientist to choose this numeric...
