Week 4.1 - Solving second order ODEs
Main Code:-
% Write a program in Matlab\Octave that will simulate the pendulum motion
clear
close
clc
% inputs
b=0.05;
g=9.81;
l=1;
m=1;
% initial conditions
theta_0=[0;3];
% time points
t_span=linspace(0,20,300);
% Solve ODE
[t,results]=ode45(@(t,theta) ode_funct(t,theta,b,g,l,m),t_span,theta_0);
% Plotting Angular displacement and Angular velocity.
hold on
plot(t,results(:,1),'Color','r') % plot for Displacement Curve
plot(t,results(:,2),'Color','b') % plot for Velocity Curve
xlabel('Time')
ylabel('Plot')
legend('Displacement Curve','Velocity Curve')
ct=1;
for i=1:length(t)
% Coordinates of pendulum with respect to angular displacement
x0=0;
y0=0;
x1=l*sin(results(i,1));
y1=-l*cos(results(i,1));
% Plotting the pendulum movement.
figure(2)
plot([x0,x1],[y0,y1])
hold on
plot([-1.5 1.5],[0 0],'color','r','LineWidth',3)
axis([-1.5 1.5 -1.5 0.5])
plot(x1,y1,'o','MarkerSize',20)
pause(0.0001)
hold off
% Capturing the frames
M(ct)=getframe(gcf);
ct=ct+1;
end
% Creating a video file
movie(M)
Videofile=VideoWriter('Pendulum_sec_order_ODE.avi','Uncompressed AVI');
open(Videofile)
writeVideo(Videofile,M)
close(Videofile)
Function Code:-
function [dthetha_dt] = ode_funct(~,theta,b,g,l,m)
theta1=theta(1); % Storing values of displacement
theta2=theta(2); % Storing values of velocity
% 2nd order ODE
dtheta1_dt=theta2;
dtheta2_dt=-(b/m)*theta2-(g/l)*sin(theta1);
% Storing the values
dthetha_dt=[dtheta1_dt ; dtheta2_dt];
end
