Abstract
A 3D exact analysis of extension, torsion and bending of a cantilever of a circular cross section is studied with emphasis on the fixed-end effect. Through Hamiltonian variational formulation, the basic equations of elasticity in cylindrical coordinates and the boundary conditions of the problem are formulated into the state space setting in which the state vector comprises the displacement vector and the conjugate stress vector as the dual variables. Upon delineating the Hamiltonian characteristics of the system, 3D solutions for transversely isotropic circular cantilevers subjected to an axial force, a torque, terminal couples and transverse forces are determined, thereby, the fixed-end effects and applicability of the solutions of generalized plane strains and the elementary theory of bending of beams are evaluated.
