Hi I want to solve the below equation of an infinite steel beam with a modulus of rigidity as 'EI' resting on an elastic foundation represented by springs with stiffness 'k' with MATLAB.
the boundary conditions are zero displacement at extreme ends and zero slope under the load. Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated, thanks

You can use symbolic calcultations. Like below:
syms E I k w(x)
eqn = E*I*diff(w,x,4)+k*w == 0 ;
sol = dsolve(eqn) ;
You can apply boundary conditions also. Refer more here:
