System of 2nd order ODE with Euler.

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi,
I had a system of 2 2nd order ODE.
I got to this point :
I need to find the approximate solutions of y2(t).
M1, M2, G, L1,L2 are variables given by the user.
These are the initials conditions which are given by the user also(i guess ?)
Im a bit lost in what should i do. I know how euler works but not with this type of system.
thanks !

after writing some code :
function main
xinit = 0;
xfinal = 3;
h = .5;
y0 = 1;
[x,y] = euler_explicit(@fnc,xinit,xfinal,h,y0);
plot(x,y(:,1));
end
function [x,y_e]=euler_explicit(f,xinit,xfinal,h,y0)
x = xinit : h : xfinal;
n = length(x);
disp(n);
y_e =zeros(1,n);
disp(y_e)
y_e(1) = y0;
% compute y_e : euler explicit
for i = 1:n - 1
y_e(i+1) = y_e(i) + h *f(x(i),y_e(i));
end
end
function dy = fnc(t,Y)
L1 = 1;
L2 = 2;
M1 = 2;
M2 = 3;
g = 1;
K = 1/(L1*L2(M1+M2*sin(Y(1) - Y(2)).^2));
Y4 = K*((M1+M2)*g*L1*sin(Y(1))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2)) - (M1+M2)*g*L1*sin(Y(2)) + (M1+M2)*L1^2*sin(Y(1) - Y(2))*Y(3)^2 + M2*L1*L2*sin(Y(1)-Y(2))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2))*Y(4)^2);
Y3 = K*(-(M1+M2)*g*L2*sin(Y(1)) + M2*g*L2*sin(Y(2))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2)) - M2*L1*L2*sin(Y(1) - Y(2))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2))*Y(3)^2 - M2*L2^2*sin(Y(1)-Y(2))*Y(4)^2);
dy = [Y(3),Y(4),Y3,Y4];
end
Im getting these erros. I check at my array and it looks like it has seven 0 which is normal.
I don't know if im going in the good direction or not to solve my equations :(
Thanks !

You got it almost. I've fixed a typo and expanded the Euler method to collect the output as matrix.
% function main
xinit = 0;
xfinal = 3;
h = 0.05;
y0 = [1, 0, 0, 0]; % As many elements as the system has
[x, y] = euler_explicit(@fnc, xinit, xfinal, h, y0);
plot(x, y);
% end
function [x, y] = euler_explicit(f, xinit, xfinal, h, y0)
x = xinit : h : xfinal;
n = length(x);
y = zeros(n, numel(y0));
y(1, :) = y0;
for k = 1:n - 1
y(k + 1, :) = y(k, :) + h * f(x(k), y(k, :));
end
end
function dy = fnc(t,Y)
L1 = 1;
L2 = 2;
M1 = 2;
M2 = 3;
g = 1;
K = 1 / (L1 * L2 * (M1 + M2*sin(Y(1) - Y(2)).^2));
% ^ was missing
Y4 = K*((M1+M2)*g*L1*sin(Y(1))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2)) - (M1+M2)*g*L1*sin(Y(2)) + (M1+M2)*L1^2*sin(Y(1) - Y(2))*Y(3)^2 + M2*L1*L2*sin(Y(1)-Y(2))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2))*Y(4)^2);
Y3 = K*(-(M1+M2)*g*L2*sin(Y(1)) + M2*g*L2*sin(Y(2))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2)) - M2*L1*L2*sin(Y(1) - Y(2))*cos(Y(1)-Y(2))*Y(3)^2 - M2*L2^2*sin(Y(1)-Y(2))*Y(4)^2);
dy = [Y(3), Y(4), Y3, Y4];
end

  1. y0 must be a 4x1 vector, not a scalar.
  2. ye = zeros(4,n) instead of ye=zeros(1,n)
  3. ye(:,1) = y0 instead of ye(1) = y0
  4. ye(:,i+1) = ye(:,i) + h*f(x(i),ye(:,i)) instead of the expression in your loop
  5. dy = [Y(3);Y(4);Y3;Y4] instead of the row vector in your code

Thanks. This is working. I had a syntax issue as mentionned by Jan
