MHB How to Solve Second Order Damped Wave Equation for PDEs: A Comprehensive Guide

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding comprehensive resources for solving the second order damped wave equation, specifically addressing overdamped, underdamped, and critically damped cases. Participants express frustration over existing materials that often overlook the overdamped scenario or do not meet the required complexity for partial differential equations (PDEs). A suggestion is made to refer to MIT OpenCourseWare for relevant lecture notes, but the resource is deemed insufficient for the user's needs. The inquiry highlights a gap in available educational content that thoroughly covers all damping cases in the context of PDEs. A suitable resource that encompasses all aspects of the second order damped wave equation remains sought after.

Does anyone know where I find second order damped wave equation worked where the overdamped, underdamped, and critically damped cases are all taken into account?

I found resources where they throughout the overdamped and just focus on the underdamped.

Hi dwsmith, :)

Are you trying to find an article where all the cases; over-damping, under-damping and critical damping are described? Then the following lecture note from MIT OpenCourseWare may help you.

Kind Regards,

Thanks but it isn't a high enough level example. I need one for PDEs.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
