FOURIER SERIES

Periodic function :

A function 𝑓 𝑥 is said to be periodic, if and only if 𝑓 𝑥 + 𝑇 = 𝑓 𝑥 where T is called period

for the function 𝑓 𝑥 .

Eg: sin 𝑥 𝑎𝑛𝑑 cos 𝑥 are periodic functions with period 2𝜋. 𝑖. 𝑒 sin 2𝜋 + 𝑥 = sin 𝑥

cos 2𝜋 + 𝑥 = cos 𝑥

 Partial Differential equation
Partial differential equation:

The equations which involving coefficients as partial derivatives are called partial differential
equations.

Solution of a partial differential equation:

The relation between the dependent and the independent variables without involving any
partial derivatives is called solution of a partial differential equation.

Complete integral:

A solution of a partial differential equation which contains the maximum possible number of
arbitrary constants is called complete integral.

Particular integral:

A solution obtained by giving particular values to the arbitrary constants in a complete

integral is called a particular integral.

General integral:

A solution of a partial differential equation which contains the maximum possible number of
arbitrary functions is called general integral.

Initial and boundary value problems:

The values of a required solution, on the boundary of some domain will be given. These are
called boundary conditions. In other cases, when time t is one of the variables, the values of
the solution at t=0 may be presented. These are called initial conditions.

The partial differential equation together with these conditions constitutes a boundary
value problem or an initial value problem, according to the nature of the condition.

Assumptions made in the derivation of one dimensional wave equation:

(i) The mass of the string per unit length is constant

(ii) The string is perfectly elastic and does not offer any resistance to bending

(iii) The tension caused by stretching the string before fixing it at the end points is so large
that the action of the gravitational force on the string can be neglected.

(iv) The string performs a small transverse motion in a vertical plane that is every particle of
the string moves strictly vertically so that the deflection and the slope at every point of the
string remain small in absolute value.

5. A rod of length 20 cm has its ends A and B kept at temperature 30𝑜 𝐶 and 90𝑜 𝐶
respectively until steady state conditions prevail. If the temperature at each end is then
suddenly reduced to 0𝑜 𝐶 and maintained so, find the temperature distribution at a distance
from A at time t.

Solution:

The equation of heat flow is

𝜕𝑢 𝜕2𝑢

When the steady state conditions prevail the temperature function 𝑢(𝑥, 𝑡) is independent
of time t. Hence (1) becomes

The solution for this equation is

𝑢 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 … (2)

When the steady state condition prevails the boundary conditions are

𝑎) 𝑢 0 = 30

𝑏) 𝑢 20 = 90

Applying boundary condition (𝑎) in (2), we get

𝑢 0 = 30 𝑏 = 30

Applying boundary condition (𝑏) and put b=30 in (2), we get

𝑢 20 = 90 𝑎20 + 30 = 90 𝑎=3

Substituting the value of 𝑎 and 𝑏 in (2), we get

𝑢 𝑥 = 3𝑥 + 30

In the steady state, the temperature function is

𝑢 𝑥 = 3𝑥 + 30

Here the steady state is changed to unsteady state. For this unsteady state the initial
temperature is given by

𝑢 𝑥, 0 = 3𝑥 + 30

The boundary conditions for the unsteady state are

𝑖) 𝑢 0, 𝑡 = 0, 𝑡 > 0

𝑖𝑖) 𝑢 20, 𝑡 = 0, 𝑡 > 0

𝑖𝑖𝑖) 𝑢 𝑥, 0 = 3𝑥 + 30, 0 < 𝑥 < 20

Applying boundary condition (𝑏) and put b=30 in (2), we get

Substituting the value of 𝑎 and 𝑏 in (2), we get

Here the steady state is changed to unsteady state. For this unsteady state the initial

The boundary condition (i) and (ii) are non zero, the solution for (i) is not applicable until the
boundary condition (i) and (ii) becomes zero.

For,

Let 𝑢 𝑥, 𝑡 = 𝑢𝑠 𝑥 + 𝑢𝑡 𝑥, 𝑡 … (3)

where 𝑢𝑠 𝑥 is the solution of (1) and is a function of 𝑥 alone and satisfying conditions
𝑢𝑠 0 = 50 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑢𝑠 10 = 10 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑢𝑡 𝑥, 𝑡 is a transient solution satisfying (3) which
decreases as 𝑡 increases.

𝑢𝑠 𝑥 = 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑 … (4)

𝑢𝑠 0 = 𝑑 = 50

𝑢𝑠 10 = 10𝑐 + 𝑑 = 10 … 5

Substituting the value of 𝑑 = 50 in (5) we get

10𝑐 + 50 = 10 𝑐 = −4

Substituting the value of 𝑐 and 𝑑 in (4) we get

𝑢𝑠 𝑥 = −4𝑥 + 50 … (6)

Now applying boundary conditions (i), (ii), (iii) and 𝑢𝑠 0 = 50, 𝑢𝑠 10 = 10 and (6) in (7),
we get the boundary conditions for 𝑢𝑡 𝑥, 𝑡 which is the transient solution of (1).
