  1. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Dr. Wang Xingbo Fall,2005

  2. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations Functional and Calculus of Variation Find the shortest curve connecting P= (a, y(a)) and Q= (b, y(b)) in XY plane

  3. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations The arclength is The problem is to minimize the above integral

  4. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations A function like J is actually called a functional . y(x) is call a permissible function A functional can have more general form

  5. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations We will only focus on functional with integral A increment of y(x) is called variation of y(x), denoted as δy(x)

  6. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations consider the increment of J[y(x)] caused by δy(x) ΔJ [y(x)]= J [y(x)+δy(x)]- J [y(x)] ΔJ [y(x)]= L[y(x), δy(x)]+β[y(x),δy(x)]•max|δy(x)| If β[y(x),δy(x)] is a infinitesimal of δy(x), then L is called variation of J[y(x)] with the first order, or simply variation of J[y(x)],denoted by δJ[y(x)]

  7. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations 1.Rules for permissible functions y(x) and variable x. δx=dx

  8. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations Rules for functional J. δ2 J =δ(δJ), …, δkJ =δ(δk-1J) δ(J1+ J 2)= δJ 1+δJ 2 δ(J 1 J 2)= J 1δJ 2+ J 2δJ 1 δ(J 1/ J 2)=( J 2δJ 1- J 1δJ 2)/ J 22

  9. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations Rules for functional J and F

  10. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Introduction to Calculus of Variations If J[y(x)] reaches its maximum (or minimum) at y0(x), then δJ[y0(x)]=0. Let J be a functional defined on C2[a,b] with J[y(x)] given by How do we determine the curve y(x) which produces such a minimum (maximum) value for J?

  13. Mathematical & Mechanical Method in Mechanical Engineering Fundamental principle of variations choose h(x) = -M(x)(x - a)(x - b) Then M(x)h(x)≥0 on [a, b] If the definite integral of a non-negative function is zero then the function itself must be zero 0 = M(x)h(x) = [M(x)]2[-(x - a)(x - b)]  M(x)=0
