| contents | The Schrödinger equation is not frequently used in the framework of the classical mechanics, though historically this equation was derived as a simplified equation, which is equivalent to the classical Germain-Lagrange dynamic plate equation. The question concerning the exact meaning of this equivalence is still discussed in modern literature. In this note, we consider the one-dimensional case, where the Germain-Lagrange equation reduces to the Euler-Bernoulli equation, which is used in the classical theory of a beam. We establish a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all solutions (i.e., wave functions $ψ$) of the 1D time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a free particle with arbitrary complex valued initial data and the set of ordered pairs of quantities (the beam strain and the particle velocity), which characterize solutions $u$ of the beam equation with arbitrary real valued initial data. Thus, the dynamics of a free infinite Euler-Bernoulli beam can be described by the Schrödinger equation for a free particle and vice versa. Finally, we show that for two corresponding solutions $u$ and $ψ$ the mechanical energy density calculated for $u$ propagates in the beam exactly in the same way as the probability density calculated for $ψ$. |
