By the principles used in modeling the string it can be shown that small free vertical vibrations of a uniform elastic beam (Fig. 292) are modeled by the fourth-order PDE

(21) a2u at = ar'

where c2 = EI/ρA (E = Young’s modulus of elasticity, I = moment of intertia of the cross section with respect to the y-axis in the figure, ρ = density, A = cross-sectional area).

Substituting u = F(x)G(t) into (21), show that
