The transfer matrix method based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is employed in order to originally achieve some exact analytical formulas for elastically supported beams under a point force together with uniformly distributed force and uniformly distributed couple moments. Those closed-form formulas can be used in a variety of engineering applications especially at the pre-design stage to get an insight into the response of the structure. Contrary to the classical boundary conditions, it is also observed that the Euler-Bernoulli solutions of a beam with elastic supports are sensitive to the ratio of length to thickness (L/h).
