Hi,

     I am new to Maple and my task is to find an analytical solution of Lateral Vibrations of Beams. Even though I referred this forum to get an idea about solving a fourth order ODE bvp,I still couldn't find the solution. Although a non trivial solution exists for this case, Maple is still returning a trivial output(i.e the determinant is not returning zero). I need to find the value of constants C1 to C4 but I am unable to understand what the error is. I have attached the file containing my current solution below.

Any help will be appreciated,

Kind Regards,

Ajay
