second order ODE solution for this system??

hello guys,
I am wondering if what is the analytical solution for this system?
can we solve it as a mass-spring-damper system?
thanks for your helps.
the rectangular part is removed from the disk.

So the DE is

ax'' + bx' + cx = 0

Write the characteristic equation...

an^2 + bn + c = 0

Solve for n using the quadratic formula...

n = [-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

This will give you two (possibly non-unique) exponents. if the exponents are different, say n1 and n2, then the solution is

x(t) = Aexp(n1 t) + Bexp(n2 t)

If the exponents are the same, then

x(t) = Aexp(n t) + B t exp(n t)

Am I missing something, or does this answer your question?
 


thanks a lot, that is the answer if the motion is linear, how about the angular motion?
how can i modify this equation.??
 


To make it angular, rewrite it using "theta" instead of "x".
 

Thread 'Volterra equation of the second kind'

There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Thread 'Visual Representation of Separation of Varables'

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
