Problem Set # 1

Construct the weak form of the following differential equations and whenever possible,
quadratic functionals.

1)

𝑑2 𝑢
− 𝑢 + 𝑥2 = 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 < 𝑥 < 1
𝑑𝑥 2
With B.C.

𝑢(0) = 0; 𝑢(1) = 0

2)
𝑑 𝑑𝑢
− (𝑢 ) + 𝑓 = 0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 < 𝑥 < 𝐿
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
B.C.
𝑑𝑢
(𝑢 )| =0; 𝑢(1) = √2
𝑑𝑥 𝑥=0

3) The d.e associated with a simply supported beam and a uniform transverse load, 𝑞0 .

𝑑2 𝑑2 𝑤
(𝐸𝐼 ) = 𝑞0 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 < 𝑥 < 𝐿
𝑑𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 2

B.C.

𝑑2 𝑤 𝑑2 𝑤
𝑤(0) = 0; 𝐸𝐼 | = 0; 𝑤(𝐿) = 0; 𝐸𝐼 | =0
𝑑𝑥 2 𝑥=0 𝑑𝑥 2 𝑥=𝐿
