In this paper we present fifth order Runge-Kutta method (RK5) for solving initial value problems of fourth order ordinary differential equations. In this study RK5 method is quite efficient and practically well suited for solving boundary value problems. All mathematical calculation performed by MATLAB software for better accuracy and result. The result obtained, from numerical examples, shows that this method more efficient and accurate. These methods are preferable to some existing methods because of their simplicity, accuracy and less computational cost involved.
