Abstract

A simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam with immovable end conditions is considered. The concept of non-ideal boundary conditions is applied to the beam problem. In accordance, the boundaries are assumed to allow small deflections. Approximate analytical solution of the problem is found using the method of multiple scales, a perturbation technique.
