Abstract
We consider a hinged elastic beam subject to a nonlinear restoring force. We show that the equilibrium position of the beam under the action of a vertical load displays an oscillating profile. We compare the nonlinear model with the linear model and we study the dependence of the solution with respect to the physical parameters involved.
