TY - JOUR T1 - Numerical Approximation and Error Analysis for the Timoshenko Beam Equations with Boundary Feedback JO - Numerical Mathematics, a Journal of Chinese Universities VL - 3 SP - 233 EP - 252 PY - 2007 DA - 2007/08 SN - 16 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/nm/10068.html KW - AB - In this paper, the numerical approximation of a Timoshenko beam with boundary feedback is considered. We derived a linearized three-level difference scheme on uniform meshes by the method of reduction of order for a Timoshenko beam with boundary feedback. It is proved that the scheme is uniquely solvable, unconditionally stable and second order convergent in $L_{\infty}$ norm by using the discrete energy method. A numerical example is presented to verify the theoretical results.
