    You have made clear so many thoughts I've been having on the history of mathematics and physics and the importance of (in hindsight) such simple concepts. You have sketched in some historical connections that I was unaware of, and provided the clues that opened my mind to the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian.

    A little hard to follow, suppose k = c*int_0^L(phi'*phi'^T), then what does int_0^L(phi'_2*phi'_1*u1 + phi'_2*phi'_2*u2 + phi'_2*phi'_3*u3) represent?

    Could you recommend me a textbook that would perhaps cover this whole series. I have several books on mechanics of materials but non of them deal with Timoshenko beam theory (and other subjects such as vibration). I also took a finite element analysis class in which the delta operator kept coming back, but my teacher completly flew over explaining its nature and why it does what it does and would also appreciate a good reference textbook for that as well. Feel free to recommend a book for each topic in this series ;) Thanks in advance @Freeball99 This series is an absolute gem by the way.

    At this time, I am examining the particular solution... Eqn 1 contains x and x_ddot. Eqns 5 & 7 give me expressions for x and x_ddot (I don't need eqn 6) I substitute these two expressions into eqn 1, expand it out, then take out cos ωt and sin ωt as common factors.

    Very kind of you. Didn't expect you to still answer questions years after your good work. I am a medical doctor self learning this information to try to understand how the human body works. And I believe vibration represents the common, most fundamental manifestation of all life forms. All measurable parameters of the human body such as PH, blood flow, oxygenation etc all finally distillate to the ability of the cells to vibrate. I believe the human body runs along the principle of least action, and eigen format. The systems inside us do not procrastinate like we do! They are very measurable and predictable. Engineering knowledge has really opened my eye understanding how medicine works. Thank you for your kind attention. Wish I had an academic buddy like you for brainstorming.

    This is great. I just started the video and I'm holding my breath to see if Oliver Heaviside gets proper credit for inventing this operation. Now as I proceed I'm not seeing evidence that this delta operator is the the same as Dirac's delta operator.

    Delta's occurs in many places in math and engineering. In this case, we are referring to the variational operator. It bears no relation other uses like the Dirac delta function or the Kronecker delta.

  • @Freeball99
    @Freeball9911 күн бұрын

    In this problem, I have not assumed any gravity is present. I have assumed that the external load is some general function so if you wanted to include the weight of the beam, you could include it in the external load.

    @22:37. "I know this must be setting your mind spinning". Right. I still remember when Dr. Katz laid this out at the very beginning of the sophomore course that I took in the summer of 1968 at the University of Michigan. It was rather unsettling, but once the fog in my brain distilled and I could see its wide applicability it became such a wonderful elixir.

    @dwinsemius13 күн бұрын

    Great stuff. It's the first time I have heard the word "brachistochrone" actually pronounced. The perspective that the goal is to calculate a function rather than a scalar leads into the need for operators rather than definite integrals very nicely. I wish that I had been prepared for quantum mechanics with this framework.

    This series is amazing (symptomatic of the channel as a whole i guess). Quick note. Maybe I missed something, but shouldn't the boundary terms in eqn 25 be negative and included to the integrand of the time integral? They arise from the IBP and are positive eqn 17, then subtracted on the second (strain energy) integrand in the Hamiltonian Principle from eqn 9. Shouldn't they therefore carry the minus sign? Thank you so much for the outstanding work.

  • @Freeball99
    @Freeball9914 күн бұрын

    Yes, the sign of the last 2 terms of eqn 25 should both be negative (careless error), however, since we're setting each of these terms to zero, it makes no difference in the final analysis and yes these terms should be part of the integrand of the time integral (the dt should be on the line below). Thanks for catching that.

    Does taking the variation of strain energy del U and kinetic energy del T, and plug to hamilton will result in equation of motion of Bernoulli beam in this case? I watched your Timoshenko part 2, and more or less that's what you did to result in equation of motion for Timoshenko beam. Then I was wondering if we can do the same for this simpler case for Bernoulli. Thank you

  • @Freeball99
    @Freeball9918 күн бұрын

    Yes, it is exactly the same. When deriving things in this video, I glossed over some of the formality in deriving it because I wanted to keep it simple, but then in the Timoshenko video, I wanted to lay it all out since I expect viewers of that video to be a little more familiar with the material. The only difference between the 2 theories is in the strain energies, since the strain energy for the Timoshenko beam includes shear and the EB beam does not. This is consistent with the EB assumption that cross-sections that are normal to the elastic axis before deformation remain normal to the elastic axis after deformation.

    Hello I have a question : why here your definition of LG eq. is partial T and not partial L ?

  • @Freeball99
    @Freeball9918 күн бұрын

    I skipped a step here. Since L = T - V, if I substitute this into Lagrange's Equation, then it reduces to the form I have in the video. It reduces to this because in this problem, the kinetic energy, T, is a function of q_dot only and does not explicitly depend on q.

    I am so thankful for your explenations! Question 1: I have one question, I didnt get the background of : at 14:05 when we do the PI on the Right Term - why does the derivative falls apart from the ∂y‘ to ∂y ? Question 2: And why do we want it to do that ? And (a Bit previous) why do we change the sign from ∂(T) (for total diff. i understood that) to ∂(I) I ? And question 3: 15:51 why is everithing zero when we multiply it with del y ? I thought that this ∂y simply Shows is the sign and If its <0 / >0 .. so where do i Take the Information from that multiplied with it = 0 ? Thanks a lot you help so much !! 🎉

  • @Freeball99
    @Freeball99Ай бұрын

    1. It's not the derivative ∂y‘, but rather the variation 𝛿y' that we are integrating. The formula for integration by parts is: int u dv = uv - int v du. So, in our problem, dv = 𝛿y' therefore integrating gives us v = 𝛿y. Then we plug this into the formula. 2. This is how we integrate by parts. Just plugging into the formula above. Perhaps try to review this technique. 3. The reason we say that the entire expression must be equal to zero is as follows... - If the value of the integral, I, is to be a maximum or minimum, then the integral must not change its sign for all possible variations of 𝛿y. - However 𝛿y is arbitrary (ie can be positive or negative), therefore the part that multiplies 𝛿y equal to 0. - We conclude from this that 𝛿I = 0 is the necessary condition to find an extremal. Hope this makes sense.

  • @Freeball99
    @Freeball99Ай бұрын

    Short Answer: you can now ask Chat GPT for the best substitution to use. Longer Answer: the form of the denominator sqrt(c - y) gives us the clue that a trig substitution is the way to go. From there, you can find a table of useful trig substitutions and look for one with the same form as the integral that we have - ie. sqrt(x) / sqrt(a - x). Old School Alternative: Use a table of integrals to integrate this.

    Sorry for the delayed response, but I somehow missed this until now... The condition β*β > α*α physically implies that the spatial frequency components must be real and non-zero to ensure wave-like behavior across the membrane. If this were not true, we would get exponential growth or decay rather than wave patterns.
