the finite element method for fourth order problem

208 Views Asked by At

Consider the following boundary value problem:

$u^{(4)}(x)=x$, $x\in (0,1)$,

$u(0)=u^′(0)=u(1)=u^′(1)=0$,

I want to solve this problem with the finite element method. But given the weak form of the equation in which the second-order derivative exists, I cannot use the basic functions of the first order. I want to know how this problem is solved in finite element method. Please guide me.
