Abstract: Based on the Plastica theory (see ref. [12]), the large deflection of an elastic-perfectly plastic cantilever subjected to an inclined concentrated force at its tip, before the unloading in the plastic region occurs, is analyzed in this paper. The emphasis of the analysis is put on the effects of the angle of inclination of the concentrated force upon the deformed shape, the load-deflection relationship and the length of the plastic region. Both analytical and computed results are given.

Key words: Large deflection, inclined concentrated force, elastic-plastic cantilever, Elastica, Plastica
