Euler-Bernoulli beams with contact forces: existence, uniqueness, and numerical solutions

Mohamed A. Serry, Sean D. Peterson, Jun Liu

In this paper, we investigate the Euler-Bernoulli fourth-order boundary value problem (BVP) $w^{(4)}=f(x,w)$, $x\in \intcc{a,b}$, with specified values of $w$ and $w^{\prime \prime }$ at the end…
