“…Experimental research works are carried out on various types of straight [106,108,109,121] and curved [65,73,96,109] beams and their equivalent models such as leaf spring [75,84,107,118,126], arch [122], rectangular plate [136,137], and beam and plate with geometric discontinuity in form of hole [124]. These structures involve various boundary conditions, like simply supported-simply supported [96,107,121,126], clamped-free [73,75,106,109], clamped-simply supported [84], clamped-clamped [122], etc. and various loading conditions such as three point bending [96,118,121], compression [126], tension [126,136], torsion [109,126], cyclic loading [126], pure bending [124], concentrated load [65,73,75,107,109], distributed load [109], combined action of concentrated and distributed loads …”
