Abstract: Exact solutions of the problem of nonlinear bending of a thin bar under a point follower load are given. The problem is studied for an arbitrary follower angle and the particular cases of axial and transverse follower forces are considered. The solutions are written in unified parametric form and expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions.

Keywords: bending of bars, follower load, Jacobi elliptic functions.
