Nonlinear Boundary Value

Many problems in mechanics are formulated as nonlinear boundary-value problems. A practical method of solving such problems is to extend Newton’s method for calculating roots of algebraic equations. Three problems are treated in this paper to illustrate the use of this method and compare it with other methods.
