Q2: ODE eigenvalue problem
An axially loaded wood column (simply supported on both ends) has the following characteristics:
-\( E=10\times 10^{9}[\mathrm{~Pa}]\)
-\( I=1.25\times 10^{-5}\left[m^{4}\right]\)
-\( L=3[m]\)
\[
P=\pi^{2}\frac{E I}{L^{2}},
\]
where \( P \) is the analytical solution for the critical buckling load.
Reference Equations 27.17,27.18,27.20, and Examples 27.7 and 27.8 of the textbook for this question.
1.(1 point) Calculate the analytical buckling load of the first mode (\(\mathrm{n}=1\)) using Equation 1.
2.(2 points) By coding, use Power Method in Matlab or Python which takes two inputs: the matrix and the number of iterations.
The code should return the smallest eigenvalue. Submit your code.
(Hint 01: You can use the same code as Q1, either the AI-generated one or your own one.)
(Hint 02: You can use built-in functions in Matlab or Python to find the matrix inverse.)
3.(3 points) Using finite differences [see Equation 27.18 of the textbook], set up the coefficient matrix that results from using 5 nodes (2 boundary nodes and 3 interior nodes), evenly distributed along the column. By calling your Power Method function, compute the buckling load after 1,2,3,4, and 5 iterations. Submit your code, the tabulated results of the numerically-approximated buckling load vs. Power Method iterations.
4.(4 points) Increase BOTH the level of discretization (i.e., putting more nodes along the column) AND the number of iterations in Power Method, such that the numerically-approximated buckling load is within \(1\%\) from the analytical value. (i.e., relative true error \(1\%\))
Please for the coding parts do it in MATLAB.
