Week 3 - Solving second order ODEs

  • First define funcion of vetiable of angle and velocity.
    function dadt = damp_sys (t,theta,b,m,g,l)
    
    dadt = [theta(2);-(b/m)*theta(2)-(g/l)*sin(theta(1))]
    
    end​
  • After define and saving function create new file to evaluate our output.
  • Firt clear all and define variables.
    clear all
    close all
    clc
    
    b = 0.05
    m = 0.1
    g = 9.8
    l = 1
    ct = 1
    tspan = linspace(0,20,500)
    thetao = [0;30]​
  • Now define function of second order differencial equation. In that define function and calculate value and store in array.
    [t,r] = ode45(@(t,theta) damp_sys(t,theta,b,m,g,l),tspan,thetao)​
  • Velocity metrix is generate which shows agle variation according to time. So, define for loop for getting value of theta with repect to time. And also define x and z varaiable to store x,y coordinates at various angles. After getting coordinates plot it on chart and define axis.
  • Marker command use to create circle at ends. ANd marker size define radius of circle.
  • Pause command use to decide interval between two successive plot.
  • Now, store this all plot in a variable M by getframe command.
    for i = 1:length(r)
    
       x = -l*cos(r(i,1));
       z = -l*sin(r(i,1));
    
       plot([0 z],[0 x],'Marker','O',MarkerSize=30,MarkerEdgeColor='r');
       title('Pendulum Effect');
       axis([-1.5 1.5 -1.5 1.5]);
       i= i+1;
       pause(0.01);
       M(ct) = getframe(gcf);
       ct = ct+1;
    end​
  • After getting frames we demp in movie. So first create file,open it and write this frames into it. Then close command.
    movie(M)
    videofile = VideoWriter("Pendulum_movement.avi","Uncompressed AVI");
    open(videofile);
    writeVideo(videofile,M);
    close(videofile);​
  • It will show animation of Pendulum system.
  • Video link on Youtube is below.
