This paper studies the existence of multiple positive solutions for elastic beam equations simply supported at both ends with inhomogeneous boundary conditions{Y (4)(x)=f(x,y), x∈(0,1),y(0)=0, y(1)=b, y″(0)=0, y″(1)=0,where f∈C([0,1]×[0,∞),[0,∞)), b>0, and f(x,s) is a monotone increasing function with respect to s for a fixed x∈[0,1]. Under appropriate conditions, there exists b*>0 such that the problem has at least two positive solutions for 0<b<b*, at least one positive solution for b=b*, and no positive solution for b>b*. The proof of the main results is based on the upper and lower solution method and topological degree theory.
