Abstract: In this paper, we study the single kink and the kink-antikink collisions of a nonlinear beam equation bearing a fourth-derivative term. We numerically explore some of the key characteristics of the single kink both in its standing wave and in its traveling wave form. A point of emphasis is the study of kink-antikink collisions, exploring the critical velocity for single-bounce (and separation) and infinite-bounce (where the kink and antikink trap each other) windows. The relevant phenomenology turns out to be dramatically different than that of the corresponding nonlinear Klein-Gordon (i.e., ) model. Our computations show that for small initial velocities, the kink and antikink reflect nearly elastically without colliding. For an intermediate interval of velocities, the two waves trap each other, while for large speeds a single inelastic collision between them takes place. Lastly, we briefly touch upon the use of collective coordinates (CC) method and their predictions of the relevant phenomenology. When one degree of freedom is used in the CC approach, the results match well the numerical ones for small values of initial velocity. However, for bigger values of initial velocity, it is inferred that more degrees of freedom need to be self-consistently included in order to capture the collision phenomenology.
