RT journal article T1 Exact travelling wave solutions of a beam equation A1 Camacho Moreno, José Carlos A1 Bruzón Gallego, María de los Santos A1 Ramírez, J. A1 Gandarias Núñez, María Luz A2 Matemáticas K1 Beam equation K1 partial differential equation K1 Travelling wave K1 Symmetry reductions K1 symmetries AB In this paper we make a full analysis of the symmetry reductions of a beam equation by usingthe classical Lie method of infinitesimals and the nonclassical method. We consider travelling wavereductions depending on the form of an arbitrary function. We have found several new classesof solutions that have not been considered before: solutions expressed in terms of Jacobi ellipticfunctions, Wadati solitons and compactons. Several classes of coherent structures are displayed bysome of the solutions: kinks, solitons, two humps compactons.
