Abstract  This paper first gives the general solution of two-dimensional orthotropic media expressed with two harmonic displacement functions by using the governing equations. Then, based on the general solution in the case of distinct eigenvalues, a series of beam problems, including the problem of cantilever beam under uniform loads, cantilever beam with axial load and bending moment at the free end, cantilever beam under the first, second, third and fourth power of x tangential loads, is solved by the superposition principle and the trial-and-error methods.
