This lecture covers the large deformations of an inextensible sheet bent under its self-weight, exploring the linearized and non-linearized bending energy expressions, the equilibrium shapes under gravity, and the numerical solution of the differential equation describing the bent sheet's equilibrium shapes. It also discusses the specific bending stiffness determination and the non-dimensionalization of the equilibrium shape equation.
