Abstract: In this paper, the problem of forced vibrations of beams is investigated. The initial-boundary value problem is formulated. The cantilever beam-fixed at one end, and free in the other- is given prescribed initial displacement and velocity. The natural frequencies and the normal modes are obtained as the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the corresponding eigenvalue problem.
