Homework 1
(Due to May 4th, @Ninova 23:59)
(Prepared by Prof.Dr. Melike Nikbay)
Question
1:
Consider
the
initial
condition
problem
of
a
uniform
string
plucked
between
two
walls
with
a
distance
apart
from
each
other.
There
are
no
external
loads
on
the
string,
the
initial
velocity
is
zero
but
it
is
presumed
to
have
an
intial
deflection
shape
as
shown
in
the
following
figure.
Using
the
modal
solution,
a)
Find
an
expression
for
the
transverse
displacement
of
the
string.
b)
Using
Matlab,
plot
the
shape
of
the
traveling
wave
at
various
times
Question
2:
What
is
the
definition
of
torsional
rigidity?
What
is
the
definition
of
polar
moment
of
inertia?
Compare
them
for
various
cross
sectional
beams.
Good Luck !
