In this work it is derived the nonlinear equations of motion of L-shaped beam structure considering rotary inertia terms for out-of-plane motion in order to be used for nonlinear modal analysis of the structure. The dynamics has been projected in the infinite mode shapes space and it is derived the equations of motion in generalized coordinates. The nonlinear equations of motion indicates that there is coupling between in-plane and out-of-plane motions which in linear case is not the case
