Question: Write a computer program that employs a finite - difference method to approximate the distribution of stresses inside the dam. Data: w 1 = 5

Write a computer program that employs a finite-difference method to approximate the
distribution of stresses inside the dam.
Data: w1=50ft,w2=200ft,h1=250ft,h2=50ft
w=62.4lbmft3,c=144lbmft3,g=32.2ftsec2
Let x=y=50ft. along AE and ED but there is tail-water at CD.The figure below is a simplified view of the cross section of a wide concrete dam. The
internal stresses x,y, and xy(considered positive as shown in the figure) are given by:
x=+del2dely2,y=+del2delx2,xy=-del2delxdely, and the potential functions is:
=-cgx where c is the density of c
The Airy stress function is the solution of the biharmonic equation:
grad4=del4delx4+2del4delx2dely2+del4dely4=0
:By introducing the variable u=grad2, Airy equation is solved by solving Poisson's equation
twice in succession, i.e.grad2u=0, with u=0 along the edges and,
grad2=u, with =0 along the edges.
Thus,
del2delx2+del2delv2=u(x,y)
The boundary conditions are zero normal and tangential stresses along ABC, with xy=0
and y=-wgx along AE and CD, where w is the density of water. Along DE, assume as
an approximation that xy is constant and that x at any point is proportional to the height of
concrete above that point.
