I am somewhat new to solving these kinds of equations but I would like to obtain some graphs/solutions using Analytical method preferebly.

Hi Aditya,
what variable are you trying to solve this for? Kappa, perhaps?

Hi Aditya
In order to solve this kind of equations symbolically, you should have Symbolic Math Toolbox.
Provided that, I'm giving you a tutorial piece of code:
clear all;
clc; close all;
% define symbolic variables
syms r n E w k d
syms mySum leftTerm
% left term of equation
leftTerm=(r/E)*(w/k)^2
% define term of summation
f=((-1)^(n+1))*(factorial(3)/factorial(2*n+1))*(d^(2*n-2))*(k^(2*n-2))
%calculate sum
mySum=symsum(f , n, 1, inf);
mySum=rewrite(mySum, 'sin')
% substitute variables other than d
rightHand=subs(mySum , k , 1)
leftHand=subs(leftTerm, [r E w k], [1 2 1 1]);
%plot left and right part of equation
fplot(rightHand, [-10 10]); hold on;
fplot(leftHand, [-10 10]); zoom on; grid on;
% numerical solving
equ= leftHand== rightHand
solNeg=vpasolve(equ, d, [-5 0])
solPos=vpasolve(equ, d, [0 5])
I suggest to run this script within a "Live Script"
At the following picture, you can see the results:
