It is well known* that certain types of partial differential equation may be solved using integral transforms with suitable kernels. In general, these equations may be solved by the classical method of separating variables, but the use of an integral transform yields the solution in a more direct way in the sense that the boundary values are contained in the solution.

It is the purpose of this note to apply this technique to obtain the solution of the differential equation associated with the transverse motion of an elastic beam for a wide class of boundary conditions.
