# Homework #6
## due 4/14 by 11:59pm


0. Create a new github repository called 'curve_fitting'.

a. Add rcc02007 and pez16103 as collaborators.

b. Clone the repository to your computer.


1. Create a least-squares function called `least_squares.m` that accepts a Z-matrix and
dependent variable y as input and returns the vector of best-fit constants, a, the
best-fit function evaluated at each point $f(x_{i})$, and the coefficient of
determination, r2.

```matlab
[a,fx,r2]=least_squares(Z,y);
```

Test your function on the sets of data in script `problem_1_data.m` and show that the
following functions are the best fit lines:

a. y=0.3745+0.98644x+0.84564/x

b. y=-11.4887+7.143817x-1.04121 x^2+0.046676 x^3

c. y=4.0046e^(-1.5x)+2.9213e^(-0.3x)+1.5647e^(-0.05x)


2. Use the Temperature and failure data from the Challenger O-rings in lecture_18
(challenger_oring.csv). Your independent variable is temerature and your dependent
variable is failure (1=fail, 0=pass). Create a function called `cost_logistic.m` that
takes the vector `a`, and independent variable `x` and dependent variable `y`. Use the
function, $\sigma(t)=\frac{1}{1+e^{-t}}$ where $t=a_{0}+a_{1}x$. Use the cost function,

$J(a_{0},a_{1})=1/m\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left[-y_{i}\log(\sigma(t_{i}))-(1-y_{i})\log((1-\sigma(t_{i})))\right]$

and gradient

$\frac{\partial J}{\partial a_{i}}=
1/m\sum_{k=1}^{N}\left(\sigma(t_{k})-y_{k}\right)x_{k}^{i}$

where $x_{k}^{i} is the k-th value of temperature raised to the i-th power (0, and 1)

a. edit `cost_logistic.m` so that the output is `[J,grad]` or [cost, gradient]

b. use the following code to solve for a0 and a1

```matlab
% Set options for fminunc
options = optimset('GradObj', 'on', 'MaxIter', 400);
% Run fminunc to obtain the optimal theta
% This function will return theta and the cost
[theta, cost] = ...
fminunc(@(a)(costFunction(a, x, y)), initial_a, options);
```

c. plot the data and the best-fit logistic regression model

```matlab
plot(x,y, x, sigma(a(1)+a(2)*x))
```

3. The vertical stress under a corner of a rectangular area subjected to a uniform load of
intensity $q$ is given by the solution of the Boussinesq's equation:

$\sigma_{z} =
\frac{q}{4\pi}\left(\frac{2mn\sqrt{m^{2}+n^{2}+1}}{m^{2}+n^{2}+1+m^{2}n^{2}}\frac{m^{2}+n^{2}+2}{m^{2}+n^{2}+1}+sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2mn\sqrt{m^{2}+n^{2}+1}}{m^{2}+n^{2}+1+m^{2}n^{2}}\right)\right)$

Typically, this equation is solved as a table of values where:

$\sigma_{z}=q f(m,n)$

where $f(m,n)$ is the influence value, q is the uniform load, m=a/z, n=b/z, a and b are
width and length of the rectangular area and z is the depth below the area.

a. Finish the function `boussinesq_lookup.m` so that when you enter a force, q,
dimensions of rectangular area a, b, and depth, z, it uses a third-order polynomial
interpolation of the four closest values of m to determine the stress in the vertical
direction, sigma_z=$\sigma_{z}$. Use a $0^{th}$-order, polynomial interpolation for
the value of n (i.e. round to the closest value of n).

b. Copy the `boussinesq_lookup.m` to a file called `boussinesq_spline.m` and use a
cubic spline to interpolate in two dimensions, both m and n, that returns sigma_z.

# ME 3255 - Final Project
## Due May 1 by 11:59pm

In this project you are going to solve for the shape of a beam under different loading
conditions. The shape of the beam varies along the x-axis and as a function of time.

Notes: Label the plots with legends, x- and y-axis labels and make sure the plots are easy
to read (you can use the `setdefaults.m` script we have used in class). All functions
should have a help file and your README.md should describe each file in your repository
and provide a description of each problem and each solution (use `#`-headings in your file
to show the start of new problems)

You will be graded both on documentation and implementation of the solutions.

![Diagram of beam and loading conditions](beam.png)

We will use the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation to describe the shape of the beam, the
differential equation that governs the solution is:

$\frac{\partial^4 w}{\partial x^4}-\frac{P}{EI}\frac{\partial^2 w}{\partial
x^2}+\frac{\rho A}{EI}\frac{\partial^2 w}{\partial t^2}=q(x)$ (1)

Where w(x,t) is the displacement of the beam away from the neutral axis as a function of
position along the beam, x, and time, t, P is the transverse loading of the beam, E is the
Young's modulus, I is the second moment of Inertia of the beam, $\rho$ is the density, A
is the cross-sectional area, and q(x) is the transverse distributed load (for a uniform
pressure, it is the applied pressure times the width of the beam, in units of
force/length).

We can separate the function $w(x,t)=w(x)e^{i\omega t}$, now equation (1) becomes

$\left(\frac{\partial^4 w}{\partial x^4}-\frac{P}{EI}\frac{\partial^2 w}{\partial
x^2}-\frac{\rho A \omega^{2}}{EI}w\right)e^{i\omega t}=\frac{q(x)}{EI}$ (2)

For the simply-supported beam shown in Figure 1, the boundary conditions are:

$w(0)=w(L)=0$

$w''(0)=w''(L)=0$

The material is aluminum, E=70 GPa, $\rho$=2700 kg/m$^3$. The bar is 1-m-long with a base
width, b=0.1 m, and height, h=0.01 m, and the second moment of inertia,
I=$\frac{bh^3}{12}$.

1. Analytically solve for the shape of the beam if q(x)=cst, P=0, and $\omega$=0 and
create a function called `shape_simple_support.m` that returns the displacement w(x) given
q and x

```
w=shape_simple_support(x,q);
```

a. Plot q vs the maximum deflection, $\delta x$, of the beam

b. Use a Monte Carlo model to determine the mean and standard deviation for the
maximum deflection $\delta x$ if b and h are normally distributed random variables
with 0.1 % standard deviations at q=50 N/m.

3. Now use the central difference approximation to set up a system of equations for the
beam for q(x)=cst, P=0, and $\omega=0$. Use the boundary conditions with a numerical
differentiation to determine the valuea of the end points

a. set up the system of equations for 6 segments as a function of q

b. set up the system of equations for 10 segments as a function of q

c. set up the system of equations for 20 segments as a function of q

d. solve a-c for q=1,10,20,30,50 and plot the numerical results of q vs $\delta x$

e. Comment on the results from the analytical and numerical approaches (if you used
functions then provide help files, if you used scripts, then describe the steps used)

4. Now set up the system of equations using a central difference method if P>0 and
$\omega=0$

a. set up the system of equations for 6 segments as a function of q and P

b. set up the system of equations for 10 segments as a function of q and P

c. set up the system of equations for 20 segments as a function of q and P

d. solve a-c for q=1,10,20,30,50 and plot the numerical results of q vs $\delta x$ for
P=0, 100, 200, 300 (4 lines, labeled as P=0,P=100,...)

5. Now set up an eigenvalue problem to solve for the natural frequencies of the simply
supported beam if P=0 and q=0.

a. set up the system of equations for 6 segments

b. set up the system of equations for 10 segments

c. set up the system of equations for 20 segments

d. solve for the natural frequencies ($\omega_{1}$, $\omega_{2}$,...)

e. Plot the shape of the beam for the first 3 natural frequencies

6. (Bonus 5pt) Create a function to return the system of equations for the eigenvalue
problem as a function of P, if P>0. Then, plot the lowest natural frequency vs the applied
load P.
