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,
Sudharaka.

Thanks but it isn't a high enough level example. I need one for PDEs.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
