Hi,
Please I need your assistance on this MATLAB code. I will really appreciate it.

R=0.492; Pw=0.3708;

for r=1:5;

for teta=10:10:360;


sigmar=(1-(R.^2./r.^2))+(1-((4.*R.^2)./r.^2)+((3.*R.^4)./r.^4)).*cos(2.*teta)+(1-((4.*R.^2)./r.^2)+((3.*R.^4)./r.^4)).*sin(2.*teta)+Pw.*(R.^2./r.^2);


end

end

The only constraint is that for each time r changes, I want the loop to calculate value for sigmar with teta going form 10-360 with increament of 10 (teta=10:10:360).
To make it clearer, What I want is that, I want the code to take r=1, calculate 36 values for sigmar using teta=10:10:360, then take r=2, calculate 36 values for sigmar using teta=10:10:360, then take r=3, calculate 36 values for sigmar using teta=10:10:360, then take r=4, calculate 36 values for sigmar using teta=10:10:360, then take r=5,calculate 36 values for sigmar using teta=10:10:360.

Thanks for your usual assistance

Are you asking how to store the variables so that it doesn't get overwritten each time? If so, you could probably do that using cell arrays/structures/arrays

For example:
rndx = 1;

for r=1:5;
tetandx = 1;
for teta=10:10:360;


sigmar= ...
data(1,tetandx,rndx) = sigmar;

tetandx = tetandx + 1;
end
rndx = rnd + 1;
end
 
Hi Gringo,

Thanks for your quick response.
Yes. What I want is that I want calculated values of sigmar to be stored and not over-written at each value of r and teta=10:10:360.

Once again thanks

Hi Gringo,

I want to make polar plot of the value of r and sigmar. polar(r,sigmar). Please how do I write the code so that I will have at each r (from r=1 to r=5) all the sigmar values corresponding to 36 teta values plotted in polar coordinate.

I am very grateful

Hey Adeeyo and welcome to the forums.

You should take a look at this for the general idea:
