Authors reply to the queries of Milan Batista 'On the uniqueness of large deflections of a uniform cantilever beam under a tip-concentrated rotational load'

摘要

We wish to thank Professor Milan Batista for his valuable remarks on our published work [1]. This letter provides answers to his queries [2]. We strongly agree with Prof. Batista that the solutions of Ref. [1] for the specified tip-angle passing a singular point are incorrect. In fact, the domain of the tip-angle (Φ_0) with respect to the rotation parameter (β) in Figs. 2 and 3 of Ref. [1] is arrived by treating the right hand side (RHS) of Eq. (14) of Ref. [1 ] as positive. Details on the generation of curves in Figs. 2 and 3 of Ref. [1 ] are given below.
