We can find a the eigenfunction which satisfy

[math]\displaystyle{ \partial_x^4 w_n = \lambda_n^4 w_n \,\,\, -L \leq x \leq L }[/math]

plus the edge conditions of zero bending moment and shear stress

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{matrix} \partial_x^3 w_n= 0 \;\;\;\; \mbox{ at } z = 0 \;\;\; x = \pm L, \end{matrix} }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{matrix} \partial_x^2 w_n = 0 \;\;\; \mbox{ at } z = 0 \;\;\; x = \pm L. \end{matrix} }[/math]
