EXAMPLES: BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR BEAMS IN BENDING
Rigid body mass at each end
Figure 11↓ shows a beam with rigid body mass at each end. A rigid body mass will effect the boundary condition on shear for the same as point mass, so we avoid repeating it here again. At same time, a rigid body effects boundary condition on moment due to non-zero moment of inertia. Figure 12↓ shows action and reaction moment on rigid body mass and beam. One can write moment equilibrium equation for rigid bodies and boundary conditions as below

(13) x = 0 : M = Icαm M = Ic(∂3w)/(∂x∂t2)       x = l : M =  − Icαm M =  − Ic(∂3w)/(∂x∂t2)
where αm is the angular acceleration of the rigid body equal to (∂3w)/(∂x∂t2) and
with the Euler-Bernoulli assumption:
(14) x = 0 : M = EI(∂2w)/(∂x2) = Ic(∂3w)/(∂x∂t2)x = 0       x = l : M =  − EI(∂2w)/(∂x2) = Ic(∂3w)/(∂x∂t2)x = l
