Abstract :
This paper deals with the determination of maximum beam deflection using homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and finite difference method (FDM). By providing some examples, we compare the results with exact solutions and conclude that HPM is more accurate, more stable and effective and can therefore be found widely applicable in structure engineering.
