Benchmark solution
=====================


Experimental result
----------------------

The reference solution is the experimental curve resulting from Peterson's thesis [:ref:`1 <1>`] visible in Figure 2. This is the force exerted on the beam as a function of the movement of the center of the beam along the Oy axis.
