The fourth-order hyperbolic equation with variable coefficients can be used to describe complex vibration, wave and other phenomena, and it is widely applied in physics and engineering technology. In this paper, we study the expanded mixed finite element method for fourth-order hyperbolic equations with variable coefficients. By introducing two intermediate variables, the fourth-order differential equation is transformed into a system of lower-order partial differential equations. The semi-discrete expanded mixed finite element scheme is constructed, and the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the scheme are proved. The error estimates are analyzed by using the elliptic projection and L2-operator. We use the central difference to discretize the time derivative terms, establish the fully discrete expanded mixed finite element scheme, and prove the stability and convergence of the scheme. By comparing the expanded mixed finite element method with the standard mixed finite element method through a numerical example, the feasibility of the expanded mixed finite element method for solving differential equations with a small coefficient is verified. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified by numerically solving spatial one-dimensional and two-dimensional fourth-order hyperbolic equations with variable coefficients. The effect of the damping coefficient on the vibration is simulated.
