5 Results

5.1 Analytic

Displacement

\[u(x) = \int \dif u\]

Kinematics

\[\dif u = \varepsilon(x) \dif x\]

Constitutive equation

\[\varepsilon(x) = \frac{\sigma(x)}{E}\]

Mechanical equilibrium

\[\sigma(x) = \frac{F}{A(x)}\]

Displacement

\[u(x) = \int_0^L \dif u = \int_0^L \frac{F}{E\,A(x)} \dif x = \frac{F}{E} \int_0^L \frac{1}{A(x)} \dif x\]
\[u(x) = \frac{20000}{30000} \int_0^L \frac{1}{-0.9x + 1000} \dif x \cdot \units{mm}\]

With the integration rule

\[\int \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} \dif x = \ln|f(x)| + C\]

we can integrate by re-writing the function as (because the derivative of the denominator is -0.9)

\[u(x) = \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{-0.9} \int_0^L \frac{-0.9}{-0.9x + 1000} \dif x \cdot \units{mm} = -\frac{20}{27} \int_0^L \frac{-0.9}{-0.9x + 1000} \dif x \cdot \units{mm}\]
\[u(x) = -\frac{20}{27} \ln(-0.9x+1000) \cdot \units{mm} + C\]

For the constant of integration we look the known value \(u(0)=0\)

\[u(0) = -\frac{20}{27} \ln(1000) \cdot \units{mm} + C = 0\]
\[C = \frac{20}{27} \ln(1000) \cdot \units{mm}\]

Displacement

\[u(x) = -\frac{20}{27} [ \ln(-0.9x+1000) - \ln(1000) ] \cdot \units{mm}\]
