A beam on elastic foundation is fully described in "Continuous Vibration" by Rao. In the attached article by Chang-New Chen, there are a number of test cases. In this paper, only one beam "simply support" is compared with exact solution.

The other test cases including fixed-fixed beam and cantilever are not compared with exact solution.

Does anyone know that vibration of a beam on elastic foundation have exact solution for various type of boundary condition?
