Some comments on Gao beam model

Abstract

In this small comment mathematical formulations concerning the nonlinear beam model published in [1] are analyzed. The beam is subjected to vertical and axial loading (at its right end). This nonlinear model can be used to study post-buckling problems. Unfortunately, some inconsistency between pure bending and pure buckling problems was discovered by the authors of this comment. This is concerned with definition of an integral constant, which is not in [1] strictly determined. In this comment there is proposed the adjustment of of this constant which should solve the mentioned troubles.
