    For three model equations of beam theory it is shown that oscillatory classical solutions have zeros, under reasonable hypotheses. The method of proofs consists in a (clever) adaptation of known techniques, partly developed by the author, for the study of linear and nonlinear hyperbolic equations. It would therefore seem that the main interest of the paper is on the applicative side; unfortunately, a discussion of the mechanical meaning of the main hypotheses has not been included.
