Problem 3: Partial Differential Equations (Boundary
Value Problems) – Beam Theory The motion of a beam of length L may be described by a simplified PDE of the form (vibrating string) ∂2 ∂2 u(x, t) = µ 2 u(x, t) , µ>0, (I) ∂t2 ∂x with the two boundary conditions u(x = 0, t) = 0 , (II.1) u(x = L, t) = 0 , (II.2) a) (i) Separate the PDE by u(x, t) = v(t)w(x) into two eigenvalue problems for v(t) and w(x) with first of all undetermined eigenvalue λ. (ii) Give the differential equations (eigenvalue problems) for v(t), w(x), (iii) Determine a set of eigenfunctions (Fundamental System of ho- mogeneous solutions to each ODE) for a general eigenvalue λ. (iv) Give general solution vλ(t), wλ(x) to both eigenvalue problems.
b) The eigenvalue λ which comes into play in a) has first of all
no determined sign. However its sign is crucial whether or not the motion is a vibration or an exponential increasing (unstable mo- tion). Determine the sign of λ from the condition of elastic stability (i.e. positive definiteness of elastic energy), namely dw Z L 2 ²el = 0 dx ( (x)) dx > 0
by partial integration, which may be performed by using the bound-
ary conditions (II). c) Determine in wλ(x) derived in a) a linear equation system for the two coefficients such that wλ(x) fulfills the boundary conditions (II). This linear 2 × 2 equation system has only non-zero solutions for these coefficients if its determinant is vanishing which is a condi- tion for λ. Determine from this condition (characteristic equation), the admissible discrete values of λn.
d) Having determined the λn and their corresponding eigenfunc-
tions (eigen-modes) wn(x), (i) Give the solution of the BVP (I), (II) in terms of a modal ex- pansion. (ii) Sketch the first three eigen-modes wn(x), i.e. for n = 1, 2, 3.
Problem 4: The motion of a Simply Supported Beam of
length L may be described by a PDE of fourth order ∂2 ∂4 EI ˜ u(x, t) = −µ 4 u(x, t) , µ= >0, (I) ∂t2 ∂x ρ with the four boundary conditions u(x, t = 0) = 0 , ˜ (II.1) ∂2 ˜ 2 u(x = 0, t = 0) = 0 , (II.2) ∂x u(x = L, t = 0) = 0 , ˜ (II.3) ∂2 ˜ 2 u(x = L, t = 0) = 0 , (II.4) ∂x Perform for this BVP (I), ˜ (II) ˜ the tasks a)-d) of Problem 3 and give the solution of the solution in terms of a modal expansion.
