Assignment 3

1. Spring constant k is 1unit and the mass is 1 unit.

*Write down the dynamics system equation.

*Analyze the lowest natural frequency of the system and illustrate the corresponding
vibration mode shape by using:
-

Standard Matrix Iteration (Inverse Power Method)

Power Method (Matrix Iteration Method)

2. Solve the following initial value problem and given that y(0) = 0, at
-

0 x 1, with h = 0.2

0 x 2, with h = 0.4

By using Runge-Kutta Classical method

dy/dx = 4x(4y - 1)

3. The initial temperature of the material is at room temperature is 25oC. At one end (point
A) is heated while another end (point E) is attached to a cooler system. Thermal
diffusivity is 10mm2/s.
-

Propose an explicit finite difference equation to find the transient temperature of the
bar of point A, B, C, D and E for every 4 seconds

Draw the finite difference grid of point A, B, C, D and E up to 8 seconds.

Determine the temperatures of point A, B, C, D and E at 8 seconds.

4. A string (2 unit length) is hold on its ends. The tension to the mass density ratio is 9kg/m
with a tension 50 N. This string will be assessed in 5 points (equally distributed) .To
vibrate the string, initial displacement and velocity are applied along the longitudinal axis.
The initial data of the displacement and velocity are given.
-

Propose explicit finite difference equations and illustrate the molecule graphs

Illustrate the analysis grid to determine the displacements of all assessment points (A,
B, C, D, E), to analyze the displacement of the string at t=0, t = 0.01 s and t = 0.02 s

Determine the displacements of all points at, t = 0.01 s and t = 0.02 s.

Based on your results (c), illustrates the strings at t=0, t = 0.01 s and t =0.02 s.
