Wave splitting of the Timoshenko beam equation in the time domain
The aim is to derive a wave splitting for the Timoshenko equation, a fourth order PDE of importance in beam theory. An analysis of the hyperbolicity of the Timoshenko equation and its, in a sense, less physical relatives -- the Euler-Bernoulli and the Rayleigh equations -- is also provided.
