beam: Motion of Inextensible Elastic Beam, ODE

Description

The beam modulator problem is a problem from mechanics, describing the motion of an elastic beam, supposed inextensible, of length 1 and thin.

It is an ordinary differential equation of dimension 80.

Usage

beam (times=seq(0, 5, by = 0.01), yini = NULL, method = gamd, ...)

Arguments

yini

the initial (state) values for the DE system. If y has a name attribute, the names will be used to label the output matrix.

times

time sequence for which output is wanted; the first value of times must be the initial time.

method

the solver to use

...

additional arguments passed to the solver .

Value

• A matrix of class deSolve with up to as many rows as elements in times and as many columns as elements in yini, plus an additional column (the first) for the time value.

  There will be one row for each element in times unless the solver returns with an unrecoverable error. If yini has a names attribute, it will be used to label the columns of the output value.

Details

There are no parameters

Examples

out <- beam()
plot(out, col = "darkblue", lwd = 2, which = 1:16)
mtext(side = 3, line = -1.5, "beam", cex = 1.25, outer = TRUE)

image(out[,-1])

# compare with reference solution
refsol <- reference("beam")
max(abs(out[nrow(out),-1] - refsol)/refsol)
