Fig. 9 — Schematic of the decomposition of the general state of loading for a beam loaded at its ends. The blue curve shows a hypothetical deformed elastic beam, while the black (straight) curve shows the initial state of the beam. The two states of loading shown in (a) and (b) can be superimposed to construct state (c). Panels (a), (b) and (c) show the states of loading A, B and C, respectively.
