Hello,

I'm trying to solve the effects (deflictions, tensions, etc) of a load on a timoshenko beam. It uses two partial diffential equations, wherein q is the load:

> PDE1 := kappa*G*A*(diff(y(x, t), x, x)-(diff(theta(x, t), x)))-rho*A*(diff(y(x, t), t, t))-q;

> PDE2 := E*J*(diff(theta(x, t), x, x))+kappa*G*A*(diff(y(x, t), x)-theta(x, t))-rho*J*(diff(theta(y, x), t, t));

The boundary conditions are that in the corners the moments (derative of theta...

Hi there,

I have created an animated plot of a modelled beam under sinusoidal forcing. It shows the beam bending along the x-axis. I was wondering how to plot the animated function with the beam lying along the y-axis instead of the x-axis as happens when i use the following command:

animate(w,x=0..1,t=0..0.1,frames=150,numpoints=100,color=red,thickness=3);

Any idea's?

I am building a robot arm,now I want to replace the rigid arm with the flexible arm. How can I control the arm's form?
